Food Quotes

There was still food rationing in England and life was difficult all through my 2 year stay in Oxford.

– Sydney Brenner

I would love to encourage all my teammates to eat the best way they possibly can. High school athletes. Now, that’s not the way our food system in America is set up. It’s very different. They have a food pyramid, and I disagree with that. I disagree with a lot of things that people tell you to do.

– Tom Brady

– Tom Catena

The wonderful thing about Food for Thought is that it lets you keep your hand in theater and be in front of a live audience without a commitment of six months, or even three months.

Vietnamese food has probably been saved from the mass market because most people never master the sauces and condiments that must be added to the food, at the table, for its glories to become apparent.

– Tyler Cowen

I love to cook. But I have some food allergies, so I have to contend with those.

– Zooey Deschanel

– Twinkle Khanna

When I took command in Vietnam, I gave great emphasis to food and medical care – and to the mail.

– William Westmoreland

I do not like onions. It’s so funny because I am probably one of the least picky eaters ever. Pretty much any type of new food, I’ll try it, I’ll eat it. But onions, and pork. Pork and onions.

– Stacie Orrico

Now it will take a long time to scale biofuels, but I’m the only one in the world forecasting oil dropping in price to $35 a barrel by 2030. I’ll put it on the record: Oil will not be able to compete with cellulosic biofuels. If you do it from food, the food will get so expensive you can’t make fuel out of it.

– Vinod Khosla

When I came to the Food Network, I didn’t want to do a cooking show. I told Kathleen Finch for nine months I didn’t want to do a cooking show, I wanted to do a home-and-garden show.

– Sandra Lee

Urban conservationists may feel entitled to be unconcerned about food production because they are not farmers. But they can’t be let off so easily, for they are all farming by proxy.

– Wendell Berry

I’m very unpopular for my dislike of this food, but I’ve never liked avocado. Everyone gives me so much flack for it because they tell me how healthy it is for me, how delicious it is. I don’t like it, but it’s not for lack of trying. I tried to like it, and it’s just not my thing.

– Samira Wiley

I am the largest market shareholder of clothing in the U.K. and I am not a destination shop for food. If the clothing market is affected – and it has been – and I hold my market share mathematically, then fine, I am doing no worse than the market is doing, which is exactly the case, but I’m losing revenue.

– Stuart Rose

Dad likes my food, but he probably thinks it’s too busy. He is a wonderful cook but only uses three ingredients. My mum rips out my articles and makes my recipes.

– Yotam Ottolenghi

Going out for a meal, especially for young urbanites, is less about socialising over enjoyable food than about enjoying food as a way to socialise.

– Yotam Ottolenghi

First and foremost I am a chef, whether behind the stove at one of my Northern California restaurants or for the past 15 years in front of the camera on my Food Network cooking shows. Creating new dishes and flavor combinations that bring cooks and our restaurant guests pleasure is my job and I love it.

– Tyler Florence

Kolkata is a great city, has great food and great people. We had some problems finding the kind of old buildings we were looking for, and even handling the crowds, but on the whole it was fun shooting there.

– Sanjay Dutt

The smells of slow cooking spread around the house and impart a unique warmth matched only by the flavour of the food.

– Yotam Ottolenghi

Anorexia, you starve yourself. Bulimia, you binge and purge. You eat huge amounts of food until you’re sick and then you throw up. And anorexia, you just deny yourself. It’s about control.

– Tracey Gold

To be honest, after you’ve crossed the line at the Olympic Games, it is bedlam for the next, about, five or six hours. Media, press conference, dope control – you might get some food if you’re lucky. You might see family if you’re lucky.

– Victoria Pendleton

We’d go out in Larry’s hippie van and drive out all around Dallas. He loved Chinese food, he’d go in and say. Remember me Major Nelson, me and my friends here are making this show called Dallas, have you got a table for us? It would work every time.

– Steve Kanaly

Any Southerner is spoiled when it comes to food.

– Wolfgang Puck

If we want to improve American food and make it much cheaper, we should deregulate the food trucks and the other street vendors, provided they meet certain sanitation standards. Many cities have already moved down this path, and people are not keeling over with salmonella.

– Tyler Cowen
