"A" is appetence

Jack was the first to admit that he had lost his appetence for beans, and that he was now appetent for meat - like a sheep or deer/elk.

According to the Basque, boxed soup is hard to pack.

Jack and Ennis hit their culinary heights when they chomped on elk chops.

"D" is delights
« Reply #16033 on: December 25, 2007, 07:15:50 pm »
The shooting screenplay shows us that Jack and Ennis do not worry so much about culinary delights as long as they have each other:

118 EXT: MOUNTAINS: NIGHT: 1980:

JACK plays harmonica around the campfire. ENNIS drinks from whiskey bottle. Same poor food, cans with spoons in them, beer bottles, whiskey bottles. ENNIS looks mostly the same, elder, but still skinny.  JACK, the shorter of the two, has thickened some through the shoulders.
They aren't fishing. Just sit near one another, enjoy the country, the night, the fire.

WE SEE JACK in a down jacket.  ENNIS in shirtsleeves.

      JACK
   Don't you never wear a coat?

      ENNIS
       (grin)
   When it's cold. Seems like spring to me.

      JACK
   It may be spring where you're sittin', but two feet west, it’s goddamn winter, I tell you.

Alma wanted to take Jack to an eatery like the Knife and Fork, but Ennis said that Jack wasn't the restaurant type.

"F" is foiling

"Jack ain't the restaurant type," said Ennis, foiling Alma's hope for a dinner out at the Knife & Fork.

"G" is grilling

Jack and Ennis graduated from heating cans of BetterMost beans to grilling steaks on their later fishing trips, as seen in this deleted scene.

"H" is heave-ho

Jack made it clear to Ennis that he was giving beans the old heave-ho.

"I" is iced

Because they could not make ice on Brokeback, the boys could never have any iced drinks.  They cooled beer in a wet sack.

"L" is lethal

Ennis took his aim and fired a lethal shot at the elk, solving the food problem.
