September 29th, 2009Thought for Food
September 18th, 2009I am starting this blog because I hope to collect stories about people’s relationships to food–what their experiences were around food as they were growing up and what their relationship to food is as an adult. What is the most disgusting thing they ever ate? The best? If they cook and what they cook. If they have secret obsessions? Eating disorders? Adventures? Complaints?
Some tasty quotes:
“Food responds to our soul’s dream as to our stomach’s appetite.
Joseph Delteil (1894-1978) French writer
La Cuisine paléolithique, 1964)
“What is food to one man may be fierce poison to others.”
Lucretius (1st century BC)
“Food is not about impressing people. It’s about making them feel comfortable.”
Ina Garten, ‘The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook’
“All I ask of food is that it doesn’t harm me.”
Michael Palin (Monty Python’s Flying Circus)
“Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.”
Hippocrates
