Publisher's Synopsis
A witty and humorous compilation of the best quotes on food and drink
"Champagne and orange juice is a great drink. The orange improves the champagne. The champagne definitely improves the orange." —Prince Philip
"Music with dinner is an insult to both the cook and the violinist." —G. K. Chesterton
Calling on the finest chefs, the proudest drinkers, and even those who can barely boil an egg, this is a compendium of the best quotations on food and drink. There are contributions from Pavarotti who uttered "One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating," to George Bernard Shaw who admitted "I'm only a beer teetotaller, not a champagne teetotaller," to Carl Sagan who famously said, "If you wish to make an apple pie truly from scratch, you must first invent the universe."
