"Given the social importance of food, it might seem strange to discover that the Trobrianders eat alone, retiring to their own hearths with their portions, turning their backs on one another and eating rapidly for fear of being observed." --Consuming Passions: The Anthropology of Eating (1980), p. 8-9, Peter Farb, George J. Armelagos "In 1975, Gloria Swanson traveled the United States and helped to promote the book Sugar Blues written by her husband, William Dufty." --Sholem Stein "As the three women stood there, taking leave of each other, the odour of the cheeses seemed to become more pestilential than ever. It was a cacophony of smells."--The Cheese Symphony in Le Ventre de Paris by Émile Zola "You are what you eat"--The Physiology of Taste (1825) by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin |
