I wasn't sure whether to put this in the Health forum or the money forum, but here it is:

Of course not, it's with fava beans and a nice chianti.

But Dr Lecter's choice of sides weren't based on his taste predilections, he was making a medical joke.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) could have been used to treat him, and what are the three things you're not allowed to eat while taking them? Liver, beans and wine.
As a psychiatrist, Lecter would have known this, so as well as making Clarice uncomfortable he was cracking a joke for his own amusement and hinting that he hasn't been taking his meds.

Phew... am lucky... I don't do taxes any more.

And this is is my mom's birthday... 2011.
