Hi! I want to write "seize the feast/food" in Latin (a play on "carpe diem," in case that wasn't obvious). So far, I've gotten to Carpe Victus or Carpe Victum or Carpe Victas, but I'm not sure if any of those are correct. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
@rebeccaa,
Pretty sure George knows Latin. You might want to PM him at his profile page.

@rebeccaa,
Carpe victum is fine if you want "seize the food".
I'd recommend
carpe epulum if you want "Seize the banquet".
By the way,
carpe does not really mean "seize" but "pluck".
Horace was speaking metaphorically.
Stumble It!
