Take away one letter from a grand autumn feast, and I become a period where you eat nothing at all. What word am I?
Feast
This wordplay involves removing a single letter from the word 'feast.' By dropping the letter 'e', the word becomes 'fast,' which means to abstain from all food. Thus, removing a letter turns a massive meal into its exact opposite.
