Morsel



Morsel -  a small piece of food

But she did it at last, and managed to swallow a morsel of the left hand bit. (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll)

Early in this trick once when the steward had left the room and Michael's eager nose was within an inch of the prohibited morsel, Kwaque, playfully inclined, reached for the morsel himself and received a lacerated hand from the quick flash and clip of Michael's jaws.( Michael, Brother of Jerry by London, Jack)

She let no morsel from her lips fall. ( English Literature For Boys And Girls by Marshall, H.E.)
Cook, said Stubb, rapidly lifting a rather reddish morsel to his mouth, don't you think this steak is rather overdone? ( Moby Dick I-LXVII by Melville, Herman)
