A Recipe for
Smoked Bean Ragout
Food Tip |
“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead - not sick, not wounded - dead. |

"Public and private food in America has become eatable, here and there extremely good. Only the fried potatoes go unchanged, as deadly as before." |
| Luigi Barzini, 'O America' (1977) |
Old people shouldn't eat health foods. They need all the preservatives they can get. |
| Robert Orben |
"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |
| John Thorne, American food writer |
