Harun AlRasheed

Harun Al-Rasheed, whole world's emperor in whose times Baghdad was as great and significant as today's London, Moscow, Washington and New York, was a big eater and a great appreciator of things artistic, aesthetic and poetic. One day he was enjoying his lunch when a story-teller was narrating a story so effectively that Harun so liked that he refrained from eating and ordered the food to be removed saying (referring to the story being recited): "This is more delicious than all food."
