Your people eat dry and tasteless flesh but it is off plates as smooth as ivory and as round as the sun.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the stark contrast between the physical appearance and presentation of food, and its actual taste or quality. It suggests that despite the aesthetic appeal of the plates on which the food is served (described as smooth as ivory and as round as the sun), the actual taste and texture of the food itself (dry and tasteless flesh) may be lacking. It underscores the idea that appearance alone cannot compensate for the lack of substance or flavor in something.
