Fish From Someone Else's Table

Tasty is the fish from someone else's table. — Yiddish proverb

A suspicious-looking man gives a sideways glance beneath the proverb “Tasty is the fish from someone else’s table.” The joke is that forbidden or stolen food—and by extension someone else’s possessions or opportunities—seems more appealing, making this useful as a reaction to envy or temptation.
