"When a poor man eats a chicken, one of the two is sick."
That is from The Culture of the Fork, by Giovanni Rebora.
The best Portuguese Renaissance maxim I read last night

That’s also a line from “Fiddler on the Roof.”
When a poor man eat with a rich man,the poor is paying or the rich one is in debt to the poor
In the original, at least in its Brazilian version, it’s:
“Quando pobre come galinha, ou ele tá doente ou a galinha”
