It's not heartburn, but burning hearts...

 When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?” (Luke 24:30-32 ESV)
There was something about the breaking of bread by Jesus that sparked these disciples, but the real fire within came from Jesus' opening of the scriptures.  Sharing meals together is great, but feasting on the word together is so much more.  "Man does not live by bread alone" - what will really get us going is God speaking to our hearts.  Many times it happens when we eat in fellowship, but the real thrill is what God has to show us.
