Hee that dines and leaves, layes the cloth twice.
My biggest weakness is steak. I have to be careful not to eat too much of it these days - but I do love it done medium rare, with peppercorn sauce.
I'm a terrible cook, so I usually eat out with friends.
Growing up in Luton, we'd always eat on a cloth, placed on the floor of the living room, with no TV allowed. There were no chairs back in Bangladesh and Dad wanted to keep the tradition, so we never owned a dining table.
Where the guests at a gathering are well-acquainted, they eat 20 per cent more than they otherwise would.
No, it's funny, when I eat out it's not typically in the kind of restaurants people might imagine.
Even today, well-brought-up English girls are taught by their mothers to boil all veggies for at least a month and a half, just in case one of the dinner guests turns up without his teeth.
One thing I've never said in my whole life is, 'Let's have dinner at a Japanese restaurant.'
Back in the really olden days, dinner was seldom a ceremonial event for U.S. families. Only the very wealthy had a separate dining room. For most, meals were informal, a kind of rolling refueling; often only the men sat down.
Canadians are very well behaved, they don't throw their food.
A lot of people who like sushi don't really like raw fish or seaweed.
When I was a child, we always had wine on the table, no matter how simple the meal. The wine had no special identity; it was just 'the wine,' from the cellar cask. The rules were general: white with the first course, red with the main course.
I'm not a strict vegetarian. I do eat beef and pork. And chicken. But not fish 'cause that's disgusting! How do you know when fish goes bad? It smells like fish either way! 'Hey this smells like a dumpster, lets eat it!'
The Southerners are the only cooks in the United States. The real difference between the South and the North is that one enjoys itself getting dyspepsia and the other does not.
Germans are flummoxed by humor, the Swiss have no concept of fun, the Spanish think there is nothing at all ridiculous about eating dinner at midnight, and the Italians should never, ever have been let in on the invention of the motor car.
Baseball guys tend to flock towards steaks.
My obsession with eating out partly comes from having spent 10 long years at English boarding schools in the 1980s, where food was pretty low on the list.
In some cities, McDonald's rules, but Seattle is ruled by teriyaki joints.
Just because we eat together does not mean we eat right: Domino's alone delivers a million pizzas on an average day.
I don't think fine dining is dying, but I think those rare occasions when you really want the fanciness are diminishing... I think a lot of people are going to find simpler, more casual ways to enjoy an experience.
In short, Google prefers a world where we consistently go to three restaurants to a world where our choices are impossible to predict.
I don't think people are monsters if they put ketchup on hot dogs, but I'm good without it. It's a debate that I don't get too hot-and-heavy with.
I am one who leaves the table like a man, without putting back the chair or picking up the plate
I'm a creature of habit. I go to restaurants all the time and stuff.
I hate people who are not serious about meals. It is so shallow of them.
