Doubleday Hardback, p163 A call-back to Pyramids in a discussion about the intent and purposes of grave-goods.

Doubleday Hardback, PP 170-71 Eumenides Treason decrees she should go into the grave with a ham sandwich to sustain her in the afterlife. There is a dialogue with DEATH on the post-mortem status of sandwich materials and condiments. This could be compared to Sir Terry Pratchett, writing in Book:A Slip of the Keyboard, on his own near-death experience on the operating table where routine operation got rather less routine. Terry was witnessed to sit up and have a dialogue with an unseen other party about sandwiches. Ham ones. (pp47-49, in article "A Scribbling Intruder")
