Defining Edible

I’ve never read any of Ambrose Bierce’s work.  Heck, I never even heard of him until I stopped by the blog AnalPhilosopher. But I do get a kick out of some of the definitions being posted from Bierce’s The Devil’s Dictionary.

"Edible, adj. Good to eat, and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm.

(Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary, c. 1911)
