Summary

The quote "Would ye both eat your cake and have your cake?" is an alternative version of the popular saying "You can't have your cake and eat it, too." It questions the possibility of wanting to possess and consume something simultaneously. The idea behind this phrase is that once you have consumed your cake (i.e., enjoyed or used it), it is no longer in your possession. Thus, it serves as a reminder that sometimes, one must make choices and cannot always possess or enjoy everything they desire simultaneously.
