Famine Food Quotes
“I appreciate the potato only as a protection against famine, except for that, I know of nothing more eminently tasteless.”
Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
‘The Physiology of Taste’ (1825)
“All knives and forks were working away at a rate that was quite alarming; very few words were spoken; and everybody seemed to eat his utmost, in self defence, as if a famine were expected to set in before breakfast-time to-morrow morning, and it had become high time to assert the first law of nature.”
Charles Dickens on an American dinner
‘Martin Chuzzlewit’
