I cannot but bless the memory of Julius Caesar, for the great esteem he expressed for fat men and his aversion to lean ones.

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.

Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea? How did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea.

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

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.

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

Why is not a rat as good as a rabbit? Why should men eat shrimps and neglect cockroaches?

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. 

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

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

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. 

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