As a shelled being with a keen gustatory appreciation, it is important to strike just the right ambience before you dine.

For example, you can enjoy your meal a lot more if you stop first to verify there are no slavering predators hovering about around the periphery.

Also, it is easier to relax and enjoy each course thoroughly if you’ve taken some time first to familiarize yourself with the day’s menu.

Then you can hunt what needs hunting first and save the rest to savor after.
