One Loves Food

and this topic is way too broad to answer. Someone else will have to go first and narrow the field. There are thousands of ways I could write about it. So instead I will post some food quotes that I found on chowhound.com:

Voltaire said, «Rien ne serait plus fatiguant que mangeant et buvant si Dieu ne leur avait pas fait un plaisir aussi bien qu'une nécessité. »...which translated into English is something like, "Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking, if God hadn't made them a pleasure as well as a necessity."

Cheese - milk's leap toward immortality. ~Clifton Fadiman

Do vegetarians eat animal crackers? ~Author Unknown

A nickel will get you on the subway, but garlic will get you a seat. ~Old New York Proverb

I'll bet what motivated the British to colonize so much of the world is that they were just looking for a decent meal. ~Martha Harrison

  1. I had a feeling that this topic may be to broad for you like that last one was for me! :D

  2. Yes, so far all of our topics have been quite broad, which is great for some of the time but I(=intense) do love me a good specific question. The responses have been interesting and that's what counts. It's probably like peeling an onion, if you asked the same broad question over and over you'd get different answers over time.

    So the music topic was really hard for you? I wouldn't have known that before. I guess it gets harder the more you love something to narrow it down?
