It's still my happiest time when I'm eating.
As we say in the American Institute of Wine and Food, small helpings, no seconds. A little bit of everything. No snacking. And have a good time.
One of the delights of life is eating with friends; second to that is talking about eating. And, for an unsurpassed double whammy, there is talking about eating while you are eating with friends.
If someone else is paying for it, food just tastes a lot better.
Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth.
He who eats with most pleasure is he who least requires sauce.
Basically I'm a female human being with brown hair, enjoy precision, reading the news, eating delicious food with my delicious friends and laughing at ridiculous things that don't translate while you are desperately trying to make them.
It's fun to be able to have a fun palate, and the way I say that, you think about it and it sounds funny, but it's true.
There has never been a shrimp that I've eaten that I haven't been like, 'I am so lucky that I get to eat this.' I would eat a shrimp enchilada, shrimp burrito, shrimp cocktail, fried shrimp, shrimp po boy, shrimp gumbo.
We have to get out there and explain that imperfect tastes just as good.
I said to my friends that if I was going to starve, I might as well starve where the food is good.
If people take the trouble to cook, you should take the trouble to eat.
Too many people just eat to consume calories. Try dining for a change.
Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.
Eating is a necessity but a pleasure as well.
I love to share food, especially if I made it or I'm particularly proud of what I ordered.
Life is too short, and I'm Italian. I'd much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0.
I live to eat - when someone else cooks for me.
It's in the nature of Italians to live life with a positive tone and to celebrate the invitations that come along in life. Italian food is so conducive to all of that.
Eating good food is, to me, one of life's greatest joys, and I will never punish myself for it.
I'm not one of those regimental people who never eats certain things - that's not life. You've got to live; you've got to eat what you want and treat yourself.
To me, food is as much about the moment, the occasion, the location and the company as it is about the taste.
For me, I don't expect to have a really amazing meal each time I dine out. Having a good meal with your loved ones - that's what makes the experience.
I like food. I like eating. And I don't want to deprive myself of good food.
Sure, I eat because I have to. But I also eat because I want to. It is one of life's few pleasures.
