Mark Kurlansky, 'Choice Cuts' (2002)

Charles Dickens(1812-1870)
 

“Nature will castigate those who don't masticate.”
Horace Fletcher (1849-1919)
 

“Seating themselves on the greensward, they eat while the corks fly and there is talk, laughter and merriment, and perfect freedom, for the universe is their drawing room and the sun their lamp. Besides, they have appetite, Nature's special gift, which lends to such a meal a vivacity unknown indoors, however beautiful the surroundings.”
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
 

“We were not satisfied with the qualities which nature gave to poultry; art stepped in and, under the pretext of improving fowls, has made martyrs of them.”
Jean-Antheleme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
 

“To eat steak rare . . . represents both a nature and a morality.”
Roland Barthes, French critic (1915-1980)
 

“Nature alone is antique and the oldest art a mushroom."
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scots writer
 

“The whole of nature, as has been said, is a conjugation of the verb to eat, in the active and passive.”
William Ralph Inge (1860-1954) ‘Outspoken Essays’
