Bacon & Eggs Quotes
“Bring porridge, bring sausage, bring fish for a start,
Bring Kidneys and mushrooms and partridges' legs,
But let the foundation be bacon and eggs.”
A.P. Herbert (1890-1971)
“I have never regretted Paradise Lost since I discovered that it contained no eggs-and-bacon.”
Dorothy Sayers, British writer (1893-1957
“The English think their food, if at all edible, is suitable for the English alone. But actually they have successfully imposed their food on other cultures and nothing marks English hegemony more clearly than breakfast. In Scotland, Wales, and even Ireland, you can find English breakfast with the national name - Irish breakfast or Welsh breakfast. But in truth, ham and bacon and eggs in the morning is English.”
Mark Kurlansky, 'Choice Cuts' (2002)
“I've long said that if I were about to be executed and were given a choice of my last meal, it would be bacon and eggs. There are few sights that appeal to me more than the streaks of lean and fat in a good side of bacon, or the lovely round of pinkish meat framed in delicate white fat that is Canadian bacon. Nothing is quite as intoxicating as the smell of bacon frying in the morning, save perhaps the smell of coffee brewing.”
James Beard (1903-1985)
“We plan, we toil, we suffer -- in the hope of what? A camel-load of idol's eyes? The title deeds of Radio City? The empire of Asia? A trip to the moon? No, no, no, no. Simply to wake up just in time to smell coffee and bacon and eggs. And, again I cry, how rarely it happens! But when it does happen -- then what a moment, what a morning, what a delight!”
J. B. Priestley, British author (1894-1984)
“The still hissing bacon and eggs that looked like tufts of primroses.”
Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881). 'Coningsby' 1844.
