I had become one with the Earth Crystal's Simulacrum Personality.
To fulfill Miss Terra's wish, I ate as much of the barbecue feast as I could.
I had no idea why she had such an intense craving for meat...
This wasn't an excuse to be greedy. She shared all my senses at that moment, including the pleasure of tasting delicious food; she simply wasn't expressing it.
