The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

A great step toward independence is a good-humored stomach, one that is willing to endure rough treatment.

Whatsoever was the father of a disease, an ill diet was the mother.

Cooking is the most massive rush. It’s like having the most amazing hard-on, with Viagra sprinkled on top of it, and it’s still there twelve hours later.

When the stomach is full, it is easy to talk of fasting.

What is food to one is to others bitter poison.

At a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and talk well but not too wisely.

Feasts must be solemn and rare, or else they cease to be feasts. 

We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink, for dining alone is leading the life of a lion or wolf. 

Most vegetarians I ever saw looked enough like their food to be classed as cannibals.

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.

To eat is to appropriate by destruction.

‘Tis a superstition to insist on a special diet. All is made at last of the same chemical atoms.
