I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead -- not sick, not wounded -- dead.

Best Quotes about Food and eating
Square meals often make round people.
Cossman, E. Joseph
Lunch is for wimps.
Stone, Oliver
It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.
Francis De Sales, St.
Much meat, much disease.
Proverb
I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. I am President of the United States, and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli.
Bush, George
There is only one thing harder than looking for a dewdrop in the dew, and that is fishing for a clam in the clam chowder.
Proverb, New England
There is such a thing as food and such a thing as poison. But the damage done by those who pass off poison as food is far less than that done by those who generation after generation convince people that food is poison.
Goodman, Paul
If you're going to America, bring your own food.
Lebowitz, Fran
It ain't what you eat, but the way how you chew it.
Mcclinton, Delbert
Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.
Schiaparelli, Elsa
Want to learn to eat a lot? Here it is: Eat a little. That way, you will be around long enough to eat a lot.
Robbins, Anthony
The act of putting into your mouth what the earth has grown is perhaps your most direct interaction with the earth.
Lappe, Frances Moore
A woman should never be seen eating or drinking, unless it be lobster salad and Champagne, the only true feminine and becoming viands.
Byron, Lord
Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet. For it is only in company that eating is done justice; food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received.
Benjamin, Walter
Yogi ordered a pizza. The waitress asked How many pieces do you want your pie cut? Yogi responded, Four. I don't think I could eat eight.
Berra, Yogi
We are digging our graves with our teeth.
Moffett, Thomas
I found there was only one way to look thin, hang out with fat people.
Dangerfield, Rodney
Gluttony is the source of all our infirmities and the fountain of all our diseases. As fire extinguished by an excess of fuel, so is the natural health of the body destroyed by an intemperate diet.
Burton
Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life so full of meaningful things that you'll hardly have time to think about food.
Pilgrim, Peace
My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't think about it, I just have it.
Schwarzenegger, Arnold
Edible. Good to eat and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm.
Bierce, Ambrose
Seven's a banquet nine a brawl.
Proverb
Sadder than destitution, sadder than a beggar is the man who eats alone in public. Nothing more contradicts the laws of man or beast, for animals always do each other the honor of sharing or disputing each other's food.
Baudrillard, Jean
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
Woolf, Virginia
Never eat anything you can't lift.
Piggy, Miss
Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
I judge a restaurant by the bread and by the coffee.
Lancaster, Burt
The food here is so tasteless you could eat a meal of it and belch and it wouldn't remind you of anything.
Foxx, Redd
We seldom report of having eaten too little.
Jefferson, Thomas
The flesh endures the storms of the present alone; the mind, those of the past and future as well as the present. Gluttony is a lust of the mind.
Hobbes, Thomas
Hunger is a good cook.
Proverb
Put a knife to thy throat, if you're a man given to appetite.
Bible
Worthless people love only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.
Socrates
One should eat to live, not live to eat.
Franklin, Benjamin
A good meal ought to begin with hunger.
Proverb, French
God comes to the hungry in the form of food.
Gandhi, Mahatma
I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead -- not sick, not wounded -- dead.
Allen, Woody
As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it, or leave it.
Hackett, Buddy
For much of the female half of the world, food is the first signal of our inferiority. It lets us know that our own families may consider female bodies to be less deserving, less needy, less valuable.
Steinem, Gloria
Although there is a great deal of controversy among scientists about the effects of ingested food on the brain, no one denies that you can change your cognition and mood by what you eat.
Winter, Arthur
If there were only turnips and potatoes in the world, someone would complain that plants grow the wrong way.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
Don't dig your grave with your knife and fork.
Proverb, English
There is nothing to which men, while they have food and drink, cannot reconcile themselves.
Santayana, George
The soup is never hot enough if the waiter can keep his thumb in it.
Collier, William
A cheese may disappoint. It may be dull, it may be naive, it may be oversophisticated. Yet it remains cheese, milk's leap toward immortality.
Fadiman, Clifton
He that eats till he is sick must fast till he is well.
Proverb, Hebrew
Appetite comes with eating; the more one has, the more one would have.
Proverb, French
He who is a slave to his stomach seldom worships God.
Saadi
For its merit I will knight it, and then it will be Sir-Loin.
Charles II
When a man's stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor.
Euripides
