Food
Quotes - My love is pizza shaped
“Hitch:
making rules about drinking can be the sign of an alcoholic,' as Martin Amis
once teasingly said to me. (Adorno would have savored that, as well.) Of
course, watching the clock for the start-time is probably a bad sign, but here
are some simple pieces of advice for the young. Don't drink on an empty
stomach: the main point of the refreshment is the enhancement of food. Don't
drink if you have the blues: it's a junk cure. Drink when you are in a good
mood. Cheap booze is a false economy. It's not true that you shouldn't drink
alone: these can be the happiest glasses you ever drain. Hangovers are another
bad sign, and you should not expect to be believed if you take refuge in saying
you can't properly remember last night. (If you really don't remember, that's
an even worse sign.) Avoid all narcotics: these make you more boring rather
than less and are not designed—as are the grape and the grain—to enliven
company. Be careful about up-grading too far to single malt Scotch: when you
are voyaging in rough countries it won't be easily available. Never even think
about driving a car if you have taken a drop. It's much worse to see a woman
drunk than a man: I don't know quite why this is true but it just is. Don't
ever be responsible for it.”

“Cooking
is at once child's play and adult joy. And cooking done with care is an act of
love.”

“Tis
an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers.”

William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
“It
seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so
mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without
the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing
about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger
for it… and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied…
and it is all one.”

“The
main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death.”

“The
first time you see something that you have never seen before, you almost always
know right away if you should eat it or run away from it.”

“I
know the look of an apple that is roasting and sizzling on the hearth on a
winter's evening, and I know the comfort that comes of eating it hot, along
with some sugar and a drench of cream... I know how the nuts taken in
conjunction with winter apples, cider, and doughnuts, make old people's tales
and old jokes sound fresh and crisp and enchanting.”

“Sharing
food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in

Dora J. Arod, Love quotes for the ages. And the ageless sages.
“Parla
come magni,' It means, 'Speak the way you eat,' or in my personal translation:
'Say it like you eat it.' It's a reminder - when you're making a big deal out
of explaining something, when you're searching for the right words - to keep
your language as simple and direct as Roman rood. Don't make a big production
out of it. Just lay it on the table.”
