Food Extinction Quotes

“How people could actually get themselves all worked up about saving the grizzly bear of the Rockies, and sit calmly by while such a magnificent dish as South Carolina Hoppin' John faces extinction, was more than I could ever understand.”
Sheila Hibben (1888-1964)

"If we don't watch out, the pleasure to be gained from the discriminating enjoyment of food will be lost. It may not be long before the art of fine cooking is viewed as the invention of a handful of snobs....A whole aspect of living well, of civilization itself, is threatened with extinction."
Benoite Groult, 'La Mer a la Cuisine' in Loaves & Wishes: Writers Writing on Food,  Antonia Till, editor (January 1994)
