Anticipation Quotes

“There is nothing like a plate or a bowl of hot soup, it's wisp of aromatic steam making the nostrils quiver with anticipation, to dispel the depressing effects of a grueling day at the office or the shop, rain or snow in the streets, or bad news in the papers.”

Louis P. DeGouy, ‘The Soup Book’ (1949)

“The artichoke above all is the vegetable expression of civilised living, of the long view, of increasing delight by anticipation and crescendo. No wonder it was once regarded as an aphrodisiac. It had no place in the troll's world of instant gratification. It makes no appeal to the meat-and-two-veg mentality.”

Jane Grigson (1928-1990) ‘Vegetable Book’ (1978)

“It [soup] breathes reassurance, it offers consolation; after a weary day it promotes sociability...There is nothing like a bowl of hot soup, it's wisp of aromatic steam teasing the nostrils into quivering anticipation.”

Louis P. DeGouy, Chef at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for 30 years.  ‘The Soup Book’ (1949)
