“Here is the supergelatinous, the flabby, the supersoft, the viscous, the dish deserving a persistent memory…” (*) A Lilliputian is an inhabitant of the island of Lilliput, an imaginary country described by Jonathan Swift in the novel Gulliver's Travels, whose residents stood about six inches tall. With the publication of Gulliver’s Travels, Lilliputian became a neologism – a newly coined word – used to describe something small or trivial. Excerpt from Les Diners de Gala (Gala’s Dinners), 1973, by Salvador Dalí.
