can you also say, I am overdone?
jheem was right, anton. Overdone is not an adjective that applies to humans--except maybe among cannibals, she said as a lame joke. Use it as a verb, regarding humans: we overdo things.
Surfeit can apply to anything that there has been too much of, not just food. To my knowledge, we don't have words (adjectives) that apply to a particular kind of food, greasy or otherwise--to describe how we feel after eating them, I mean. We can be overfull (I use 'stuffed' fairly often, having picked up its usage from a friend) of pie or fish, etc., or feel sick from eating too much greasy food; but I can't think of any words we use that would automatically let others know what kind of food we had eaten to make us feel that way.
