Iolaus Is Always Eating

Iolaus enjoys food. A lot. And, in fact, he can be found eating or having finished a meal in several episodes.

Exceptions

The exceptions that break the rule are as follows:

• Iolaus, sick of always eating oats, gives up his breakfast to a hungry Hercules. - 1.13 - Forgery
