Here are some quotes on food.  I don't necessarily agree with them all, but they are humorous or interesting or thought provoking.

"Americans can eat garbage, provided you sprinkle it liberally with ketchup, mustard, chili sauce, Tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, or any other condiment which destroys the original flavor of the dish."

Henry Miller, American writer

(Attributed to my great-grandfather.)

A cucumber should be well-sliced, dressed with pepper and vinegar, and then thrown out.  

-Samuel Johnson

-Julia Childs

"'When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?" 

"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?" 

"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet. 

Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.

A. A. Milne,  The House at Pooh Corner
