Sandwiches

There's something that Shakespeare does to one's writing. I'm not saying it necessarily improves it, but it sure as hell spins it quite a ways.

E.g. today I wanted to tell a group of colleagues that there're plenty leftover from the tea break. This is what I wrote: "As I write, there is a huge plate of sandwiches left unvisited..."

That last word was inspired by Hamlet's, "winds of heaven visit her face too gently."

What other word could be used?
