Yet shall you have to rectify your palate, An olive, capers, or some better salad Ushering the mutton; with a short-legged hen, If we can get her, full of eggs, and then, Limons, and wine for sauce: to these a coney Is not to be despaired of for our money; And though fowl now be scarce, yet there are clerks, The sky not falling, think we may have larks. (Quote by - Ben Jonson)

The master of art or giver of wit, Their belly. (Quote by - Ben Jonson)

O hour, of all hours, the most blesse'd upon earth, The bless'd hour of our dinners! (Quote by - Lord Lytton)

We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks. He may live without books,--what is knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope,--what is hope but deceiving? He may live without love,--what is passion but pining? But where is the man that can live without dining? (Quote by - Lord Lytton)

Ye diners out from whom we guard our spoons. (Quote by - Thomas Babington Macaulay)
