Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good.

The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.

New Orleans food is as delicious as the less criminal forms of sin.
Mark Twain (1835 – 1910)
There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and every eatable, drinkable, and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry.
Mark Twain (1835 – 1910)
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch.
Orson Welles (1915 – 1985)
Fish is the only food that is considered spoiled once it smells like what it is.
P. J. O’Rourke (1947 – )
Never eat more than you can lift.

I love what Calvin Trillin said
Me too.
I think I grew up on that meal as well – - -
While Mrs Fitz watched Masterchef last night, the boys were eating Dad’s mild Indian curry of chicken and sweet potato with snow peas.
I didn’t get voted off the island.
Sounds delicious.
I may post the recipe for my sweet potato and cardamom soup one day.
I like those …… they’ll be trotted out next time I can buy a friend …
Don’t buy a friend – win them with some irresistible puns – - -
brilliant.
If it’s deep fried it’s Scottish…
I love the Mark Twain quote and am now away to have a deep fried Mars Bar to commemorate it…
Oh the cholesterol! I’m convinced the deep fried Mars bar was invented by the Sassenachs as a genocidal attack on the Scots.
I fully agree with what the pig said.
Oh, so do I, believe me. Not at one sitting, anyway.
