"A connoisseur of gastronomy was congratulated on his appointment as a director of indirect contributions at Perigues: and, above all, in the pleasure there would be in living in the midst of good cheer, in the country of truffles, partridges, truffled turkeys, and so forth. 'Alas!' replied with a sigh the sad gastronomer, 'can one really live at all in a country where there is no fresh sea-fish?'" Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826) The Physiology of Taste (1825)
"Do not overcook this dish. Most seafoods...should be simply threatened with heat and then celebrated with joy." Jeff Smith (The Frugal Gourmet)
"Soup and fish explain half the emotions of human life." Sydney Smith
“A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.” Gloria Steinem (?)
