Word of Mouth Quotes

“No disagreement either from those of us who delight in American deep-dish pies and French tartes and prize the difference, who long for “authentic” foods, however vague we may be on what we mean by “authenticity.” In the perceptive words of a great French chef, we eat more myths than calories. We eat, in sum, with our imagination.”
― Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson, Word of Mouth: What We Talk About When We Talk About Food (California Studies in Food and Culture Book 50)
