Question on Ransom

[David]

This is really more of a one-shot question, but I could not find a proper forum for it, so I created a new one.

Do any of you experts on the Space Triology know the passage where the narrator talks about Ransom becoming a vegetarian? It seems like it's in That Hideous Strength, and it's related to his experience on Malacandra, but I can't find it by thumbing through the pages.

Just for the sake of the fourm, I am not a vegetarian and don't want this to turn into a debate on the topic. Good Lord, what a tedious debate that is! Maybe if people have other questions about Ransom, they might put them here.

My primary aim is to recover that particular passage in the novel.

Although I would believe this passage is in perelandra, I just finished re-reading the book and i dont recall anything saying he is a "vegitarian" although I will quote one passage that seems relevant to your question. It happens in chapter 2 when it is describing when ransom comes back from perelandra and is conversing with lewis and Humphrey

"No thanks. I dont somehow feel like bacon or eggs or anything of that kind. No fruit you say? Oh well, no matter. Bread or porridge or something"

It seems that after his experiences on perelandra, terrestial food does not satisfy, and only our fruits are a reminder of the lustrious guords which give un-imaginable pleasure.
