Explanation:
The word festive is meant to be sarcastic. Porridge is not a festive meal..... it's gruel mean to fill the stomach, nothing more. Unfortunately, the boys were not even given enough to fill their bellys.
Oliver Twist and his companions suffered the tortures of slow starvation for three months: at last they got so voracious and wild with hunger, that one boy, who was tall for his age, and hadn't been used to that sort of thing (for his father had kept a small cook-shop), hinted darkly to his companions, that unless he had another basin of gruel per diem, he was afraid he might some night happen to eat the boy who slept next him, who happened to be a weakly youth of tender age.
