Iron and Steel Food Quotes
"Give them great meals of beef and iron and steel, they will eat like wolves and fight like devils."
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) 'King Henry V'
"Forks are made of iron or steel: noblemen eat with silver forks. I have gone on using a fork even now that I am back in England. This has occasioned more than one joke and one of my intimate friends did not hesitate to apply to me in the middle of a dinner the adjective 'Furciferous'."
Thomas Coryate, English traveler (1608)
