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

Is it only the mouth and belly which are injured by hunger and thirst? Men’s minds are also injured by them.

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

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. 

What is food to one is to others bitter poison.

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

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

Thought depends absolutely on the stomach, but in spite of that, those who have the best stomachs are not the best thinkers.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

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

To eat is to appropriate by destruction.

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