Returning an objects subclass with generics

With an abstract class I want to define a method that returns "this" for the subclasses:

public abstract class Foo {
    ...
    public <T extends Foo> T eat(String eatCake) {
        ...
        return this;
    }
}  

public class CakeEater extends Foo {}

I want to be able to do things like:

CakeEater phil = new CakeEater();
phil.eat("wacky cake").eat("chocolate cake").eat("banana bread");

Arguably banana bread would throw an IllegalArgumentException with the message "Not a cake!"
