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

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

For, say they, when cruising in an empty ship, if you can get nothing better out of the world, get a good dinner out of it, at least.

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. 

He makes his cook his merit, and the world visits his dinners and not him.

Bad men live that they may eat and drink, whereas good men eat and drink that they may live.

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard for their own interest.

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.

To eat is to appropriate by destruction.

To safeguard one’s health at the cost of too strict a diet is a tiresome illness indeed.

The belly is the reason why man does not mistake himself for a god.

A woman should never be seen eating or drinking unless it be lobster salad and champagne, the only truly feminine and becoming viands.

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