I've yet to read a Bible translation that mentions any meat or other items at that supper. It was Bread and Wine. There was also a basin for foot washing. Where is that in the picture? It was at a table and they were able to dip their bread. There is NO evidence of a full fledged meal like a feast. Its just not there.

Paul was essentially telling them that if they are that hungry and want to just get drunk... they should just stay home and do that.

Paul also said you have a house to eat in. The meal was not to get full or get drunk but to remember the body and blood of the Lord. There is no evidence it was supposed to be a meal. They were making it a meal by getting drunk and eating up all the bread.
