"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist

Jacques Pepin describes this happening in one of his early cooking classes in 'The Apprentice'. The class was on stock making and one of his students approached him and asked what to do with the reserved bones...etc... after draining the liquid down the sink.

I've caught myself doing this, but thankfully only lost a cup or two. Said to my then-wife "This is why we have pots with spigots at school..."

I'm pretty sure I confessed to doing this in the I Will Never Again... topic, years ago. Sure felt stoopid!

I know, it's only tangentially food, but still. One could say the same for many things that include bacon. :P
