Explanation:

Don Quixote (The Ingenious Hidalgo, Don Quixote of La Mancha) was written by Miguel de Cervantes, and published in 1605 and 1615. This novel was a pioneer in the modern novel genre and is considered one of the greatest novels of all time.

Don Quixote is a fictional character that Alonso Quixano (a wealthy well-read man) invented in his search for adventures like the ones written in books, with him goes Sancho Panza (a poor peasant waiting for a payment in return). Sancho Panza is presented as the antithesis of Don Quixote and one of the points that create this anthesis is food. While Sancho Panza loves eating and finds pleasure in food, Don Quixote thinks that knights rarely eat and he prefers to nourish himself on memories.
