Waiting with a bowl of Fava Beans for a census taker to knock on my door.

You're gonna need this.

Thanks for the correction. I thought it was "Fava" too but when I Googled it it came up "Faba". Apparently it is both and more. A little trivia.

* Note Lecter's mention of having consumed a victim's liver with "some fava beans and nice chianti". Liver, fava beans, and wine all contain a substance called tyramine, which can actually kill you if you're also taking a certain class of antidepressant drugs known as MAO inhibitors. MAO inhibitors were the first antidepressant drugs developed, and were used primarily on patients in mental institutions. Lecter both worked in, and was committed to, a mental institution.
