Okay, if you want to give me a treat, I 'll would take it, but only if you are giving it to me out of friendship /goodwill . And mind you, right now I'm feeling so hungry that, allegorically speaking, I could eat a horse. If I were going to insist on calling attention to the fact that "eat a horse" is not literal, I might say so hungry that I could eat a proverbial horse.
