I saw a Miss Piggy quote in a newspaper insert that came through our mailbox this week. Aha! I thought. That’s a perfect topic for a Thursday Thirteen. So, THIRTEEN QUOTES ABOUT FOOD
1. “Never eat more than you can lift.” ~ Miss Piggy
2. “Food is our common ground, a universal experience.” ~ James Beard
3. “I am not a glutton – I am an explorer of food.” ~ Erma Bombeck
4. “An old-fashioned vegetable soup, without any enhancement, is a more powerful anti carcinogen than any known medicine.” ~ James Duke, MD
5. “As with most fine things, chocolate has its season. There is a simple memory aid that you can use to determine whether it is the correct time to order chocolate dishes: any month whose name contains the letter A, E, or U is the proper time for chocolate.” ~ Sandra Boynton
6. “My mother’s menu consisted of two choices: Take it or leave it.” ~ Buddy Hackett
7. “My wife dresses to kill. She cooks the same way.” ~ Henny Youngman
8. “The primary requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite.” ~ A.J. Liebling
9. “Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and fat.” ~ Alex Levine
10. “If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it probably needs a little more time in the microwave.” ~ Lori Dowdy
11. “It’s important to watch what you eat. Otherwise, how are you going to get it into your mouth ?” ~ Matt Diamond
12. “One of life’s mysteries is how a 1kg box of candy can make a woman gain 2kg.”
13. “The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat are really good friends.”
And an extra one because it made me laugh:
“Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but she can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.”
I’ll admit I love food. I eat a varied diet with dishes influenced from different parts of the world. Italian food is one of my favorites but I also enjoy Pacific Rim food, which is often seafood with Pacific or Asian influences. Pacific Rim food is like a melting pot of New Zealand ethnic groups combined with our fresh produce. Like most Westerners, I probably eat too much, but some of my happiest memories involve food and meals with friends. I’m a capable cook and enjoy it when I’m in the mood.
What is your favorite type of food? Do you like eating and cooking?
