Food and eating

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

24.
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.

Francis De Sales, St.

28.
Lunch kills half of Paris, supper the other half.
Montesquieu, Charles De

Burton

Hunger is a good cook.
Proverb

34.
When one has tasted it [Watermelon] he knows what the angels eat.
Twain, Mark

35.
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

36.
We seldom report of having eaten too little.
Jefferson, Thomas

37.
I would like to find a stew that will give me heartburn immediately, instead of at three o clock in the morning.
Barrymore, John

38.
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

39.
Never eat anything you can't lift.
Piggy, Miss

40.
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

41.
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.

Cooke, Alistair

God comes to the hungry in the form of food.
Gandhi, Mahatma
