From this chapter, prisoners start talking about food. First a boy named Sigi would talk about his mother in Vienna and the third dishes of bean soup he couldn't finish. Then other person would talk about his country and the food and so and on. Every international prisoners miss their food fron their country. Then Primo would think about how weak their flesh is. He figured that they are all in fantasies of food because of their hunger.
Hunger also leads to pilfering food and survival of fittest. One who is smart to get food can obtain quite more rations than he could and those who does not watch for their food would see their food stolen in a second. Bread loses its taste and nutrition if time passes. Therefore, it is smart to chop it in ones mouth before it gets stolen or rotten.
Also, the soup comes in the meal which satisfies the prisoners. Sometimes the soup comes in mass amount therefore one can get 6 pints of hot soup.
