Food Basics Quotes

"Food was important, though:  food for a long winter, one that would follow a bad crop, one in which everything we ate would come from the garden.  There was nothing unusual about this, except that there wouldn't be a spare dime to buy anything but flour, sugar, and coffee.  A good crop meant that there was a little money tucked away under a mattress, a few bills rolled up and saved and sometimes used for luxuries like Coca-Cola's, ice cream, saltines and white bread.  A bad crop meant that if we didn't grow it, we didn't eat it."
John Grisham, ‘A Painted House’

‘The Physiology of Taste’ (1825)
