Help the ancient vampire complain accurately to his therapist.

"I am so incredibly hungry! I ______ a decent meal since 1893!"

The correct answer is haven't had.

The word "since" connects a point in the past (1893) to the present moment. In English, this connection requires the Present Perfect tense.

Note for Romance language speakers: It is tempting to use the present tense here (like no tengo... desde or je n'ai pas... depuis), but in English, the Present Perfect is required to show a state that started in the past and continues into the present.
