Finfoefom

• Fie, foh and fum: Shakespeare, King Lear 3:4:187

• Fee Fi Fo Fum → in the English folktale Jack and the Beanstalk, when the giant smells Jack, he declares: "Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread." The giant then tells his wife, "I smell an English man. I am sure I am right this time. Cook him for my supper." → there are several references here suggesting that it is Finnegan (HCE) who is to be ritually eaten at the Wake... "his baken head" (his baked head / bacon head), "Finfoefom the Fush" (Fin the fish), "But, lo, as you would quaffoff his fraudstuff and sink teeth through that pyth of a flowerwhite bodey..." (flower=flour) → Mastication of the host
  • Ulysses 045.01-02: ""Feefawfum. I zmellz de bloodz odz an Iridzman"
