FOOD FOR THOUGHT - June 10, 2009 - Mark R. Vogel - Epicure1@optonline.net - Mark’s Archive

Never argue at the dinner table, for the one who is not hungry always gets the best of the argument.
Richard Whately

Ham & eggs - A day's work for a chicken; A lifetime commitment for a pig.

Anomynous

It is after you have lost your teeth that you can afford to buy steaks.
Pierre August Renoir

When those waiters ask me if I want some fresh ground pepper, I ask if they have any aged pepper.
Andy Rooney

I don't like food that's too carefully arranged; it makes me think that the chef is spending too much time arranging and not enough time cooking. If I wanted a picture I'd buy a painting.
Andy Rooney

Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

I've been on a diet for two weeks and all I've lost is two weeks.
Totie Fields

The worst gift is a fruitcake. There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other.
Johnny Carson

McDonalds announced it’s considering a more humane way of slaughtering its animals. You know they fatten them up and then kill them. You know the same thing they do to their customers, isn’t it?
Jay Leno

I love Thanksgiving turkey...it's the only time in Los Angeles that you see natural breasts.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

Most vegetables are something God invented to let women get even with their children. A fruit is a vegetable with looks and money. Plus, if you let fruit rot, it turns into wine, something Brussels sprouts never do.
P. J. O'Rourke

You can say this for ready-mixes - the next generation isn't going to have any trouble making pies exactly like mother used to make.
Earl Wilson

"If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?"
Steven Wright

Julia Child

A bum came up to me saying "I haven't eaten in two days!" I said, "You should force yourself!"
Henny Youngman

A bum told me "I haven't tasted food all week." I told him "Don't worry, it still tastes the same!"
Henny Youngman

Candy Corn is the only candy in the history of America that's never been advertised. And there's a reason. All of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911.
Lewis Black

The first law of dietetics seems to be: if it tastes good, it's bad for you.

My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four; unless there are three other people.

I'm not saying my wife's a bad cook, but she uses a smoke alarm as a timer.
Bob Monkhouse

I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead. Not sick. Not wounded. Dead.
Woody Allen

The food here is terrible, and the portions are too small.
