Food quotations

Inevitably, I now research food related matters in even greater detail. Today, en route home, something caught my eye on a pub window. It was a food quotation. Food seems to consume our minds. If you don't like it, it's how to avoid it. For the those who spend their days calorie counting they obsess about what foods they should and shouldn't have. For the rest of us. it may be a case of loving to cook so we look out for ingredients. We love restaurants so we read every restaurant review we can find. We just eat because we like it.

So I have spent some time finding how food influences different people. Countless quotations to be found. I've put down some of my favourites.
