How does the quail dish affect: Gertrudis? Tita? Pedro?

Pedro enjoys the dish immensely and does not hesitate to share his delight despite Rosaura’s jealousy. Mama Elena also finds the dish delicious but decides to criticize it in order to appease Rosaura’s pain. Like the wedding cake, the quail in rose petal sauce causes strange things to happen when consumed. Through the dish Tita is able to convey all of her passion for Pedro who eagerly consumes it. Tita’s body appears lifeless because she has entered Pedro’s and Gertrudis appears overcome by sexual excitement as she fantasizes about a soldier she saw in Piedras Negras.
