Bottom centre of the picture - there is a table with some people eating.
Anyone has any idea what is the allusion of the picture of the blind man eating something?
The rest I know.
Eating the "castle"(as per Chinese chess) Eating "slipper rice" Eating from the rice bowl and flipping the bowl Eating a "dead cat"...
