[ Also see Appetite Bread Cooking Dinner Eating Fasting Feasting Gluttony ]

      - Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus)

Many dishes bring many diseases.
      - Pliny the Elder (Caius Plinius Secundus)

Simple diet is best.
      - Pliny the Elder (Caius Plinius Secundus)

      - Francis Quarles

Unquiet meals make ill digestion.
      - William Shakespeare

Your worm is your only emperor for diet; we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots.
      - William Shakespeare

A fig for your bill of fare; show me your bill of company.
      - Jonathan Swift

All courageous animals are carnivorous, and greater courage is to be expected in a people, such as the English, whose food is strong and hearty, than in the half starved commonalty of other countries.
      - Sir William Temple

It was Dean Swift who ignored the bill of fare, and asked for a bill of the company.
      - Nathaniel Parker Willis
