• A Centaur has a man-stomach and a horse-stomach. And of course both want breakfast. So first of all he has porridge and pavenders and kidneys and bacon and omlette and cold ham and toast and marmalade and coffee and beer.

That's why it's such a serious thing to ask a Centaur to stay for the weeekend. A very serious thing indeed.
