What's it all about...?
- "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are"
- "Ask not what you can do for your country, Ask what's for lunch" - Orson Welles
- "When you feast, devour it all" - Tolstoy
- Food, like a loving touch or a glimpse of divine power, has that ability to comfort.
- Enchant, stay beautiful and graceful, but do this, eat well. Bring the same consideration to the preparation of your food as you devote to your appearance. Let your dinner be a poem, like your dress.
- I wish you a merry Christmas, I wish you a merry Christmas, I wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
- One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well
- Cooking is like love, it should be entered into with abandon or not at all
- Here's to another year of eating fabulously!
- They dined on mince, and slices of quince, which they ate with a runcible spoon
- Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast
- Have yourself a merry little Christmas
- Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat
- 'tis the season to be jolly, tra la la la la... la la la la
- Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose...
- Dine we must and we may as well dine elegantly as well as wholesomely
- Full of mellow fruitfulness
- Melting in your mouth and not in your hand!
- Eating the Big Apple, one bite at a time
- (Not always about mash!)
- It's tasty, tasty very very tasty! It's very tasty!
Where in the world...?
