Luca received a basin of meat stew and a loaf of bread, then found a random spot to squat down and eat.
He didn't care that it was scalding hot.
He grabbed the meat with his left hand and stuffed it into his mouth, slurping as he ate.
With his other hand, he grabbed the bread, dipped it in the broth, and shoved it into his mouth.
A bite of the broth-soaked bread squeezed out savory juices, yet the bread itself remained wonderfully crisp.
The meat was also stewed until it was incredibly tender. A light bite and a chew was all it took to swallow it whole. He almost swallowed his own tongue along with it.
To an onlooker, as Luca wolfed down his food, it looked as if a large fist had suddenly been shoved down his throat.
Then, with a mighty swallow...
"GULP!"
...the 'fist' dropped from his throat with a THUD into his stomach.
They feared he might choke to death from eating too much at once.
