I have eaten
A guy meets with a friend at a cafe around 11 in the evening often. The guy usually only orders something to drink, while the friend grabs a meal too. One day the guy arrives, orders a coffee and joins the friend (who's already there) at a table.
The friend asks: Still not hungry?
The guy responds: I have eaten.
