-- David Batista
I eat for my country. -- Philip Lader, U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom
The only real stumbling block is fear of failure.
In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude. -- Julia Child, BBC
Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian

I hear heaven has a great breakfast bar and that hell is all high fiber and skim milk. -- Bobby Winters, 2005
What the British call chicory the North Americans call endive, and just to return the favour and compound the confusion, what the North Americans call chicory we call endive. Don't even start with biscuits! -- BBC Food Newsletter, February 2, 2006
Rarebit, n. A Welsh rabbit, in the speech of the humourless, who point out that it is not a rabbit. To whom it may be solemnly explained that the comestible known as toad-in-the-hole is really not a toad, and that 'riz-de-veau a la financiere' is not the smile of a calf prepared after the recipe of a she banker. -- Ambrose Bierce, American writer (1842-1914) The Devil's Dictionary (1906) via BBC Food, February 23, 2006
Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and then eat just one of the pieces. -- Judith Viorst, via BBC Food, August 21, 2006
