The Russian idiomatic equivalent for 'I could eat a horse!' (= I'm extremely hungry)

Title:	The Russian idiomatic equivalent for 'I could eat a horse!' (= I'm extremely hungry)
Answer:	Ya gOLoden kak volk.

Hints:	1. Literally: I'm as hungry as a wolf. 2. try 'e' and 'o'

Explanation:	Wolves are very wild animals who roam through the woods in search of prey. They will attack any other animals and even humans, especially in winter. They are still widespread both in European Russia and, of course, in Syberia. By the way 'ya goloden kak volk' is what a male speaker of Russian might say. A woman or a girl would say 'ya golodnA kak volk' or would even say simply 'ya ochen' golodnA' (I'm very hungry).
