Gastronomical Perfection Quotes

“Gastronomical perfection can be reaches in these combinations: one person dining alone, usually upon a couch or a hillside; two persons, no matter of what sex or age, dining in a good restaurant; six people, of no matter what sex or age, dining in a good home. The six should be capable of decent social behaviour: that is, no two of them should be so much in love as to bore the others, nor, at the opposite extreme, should they be carrying on any sexual or professional feud which could put poison in the plates all must eat from.”
M.F.K. Fisher, The Art of Eating (1963)
