The article is dedicated to culinary practices in Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz's drama. They are considered in relation to the idea of metaphysical insatiability and a “creative hunger” of exceptional individuality. Culinary tastes that dominate in Witkacy's writings are being ana-lysed on the bases of the critical approaches of Lévi Strauss and Barthes as well as Malinow-ski's important works on cultural anthropology (Argonauts of the Western Pacific, 1922; The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia, 1929). The article concentrates also on the works of some well-known representatives of the inter¬ war period (Čapek, Schulz, Kafka) that are relevant to the subject.
