Gandhi, The Story of My Experiments with Truth, translated 1940 by Mahadev Desai, Part I, Chapter xiv: I launched out in search of a vegetarian restaurant. […] I would trot ten or twelve miles each day, go into a cheap restaurant and eat my fill of bread, but would never be satisfied. During these wanderings I once hit on a vegetarian restaurant in Farringdon Street. The sight of it filled me with the same joy that a child feels on getting a thing after its own heart. Before I entered I noticed books for sale exhibited under a glass window near the door. I saw among them Salt's Plea for Vegetarianism. This I purchased for a shilling and went straight to the dining room. This was my first hearty meal since my arrival in England. ==== Antonyms ==== (all senses): unhearty (several senses): heartless ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== Translations ==== === Noun === hearty (plural hearties) (obsolete or humorous, nautical) a term of familiar address and fellowship among sailors. === References === “hearty”, in Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary, Springfield, Mass.: G. & C.
