Food is something I can choose, order, have delivered. I sit down, eat, and feel really good in the moment. At its essence, food is nourishing. There is truth in that. The trick is understanding and respecting the line where it crosses over into something unhealthy.","author":"Ashley Graham","tags":["food","food-love","inspirational","self-esteem","self-love"],"id":51794,"author_id":"Ashley+Graham"},{"text":"I love Pizza thicker, when the crust is thinner!","author":"Jasleen Kaur Gumber","tags":["food","food-love","foodie","funny","humor","pizza","pizza-crust","pizza-love","witty"],"id":76219,"author_id":"Jasleen+Kaur+Gumber"},{"text":"I was taught how to tie up the loin with a butcher's looping knot and was so excited by the discovery that I went home and practiced. I told Elisa about my achievement. “I tied up everything,” I said. “A leg of lamb, some utensils, a chair. My wife came home, and I tied up her too.” Elisa shook her head. “Get a life,” she said and returned to her task.","author":"Bill Buford","tags":["cooking","food","food-love"],"id":206862,"author_id":"Bill+Buford"},{"text":"The five cells are silky-white within, and are filled with a mass of firm, cream-coloured pulp, containing about three seeds each. This pulp is the eatable part, and its consistence and flavour are indescribable. A rich custard highly flavoured with almonds gives the best general idea of it, but there are occasional wafts of flavour that call to mind cream-cheese, onion-sauce, sherry-wine, and other incongruous dishes. Then there is a rich glutinous smoothness in the pulp which nothing else possesses, but which adds to its delicacy. It is neither acid nor sweet nor juicy; yet it wants neither of these qualities, for it is in itself perfect. It produces no nausea or other bad effect, and the more you eat of it the less you feel inclined to stop. In fact, to eat Durians is a new sensation worth a voyage to the East to experience.","author":"Alfred Russel Wallace","tags":["food","food-love","foodie"],"id":215091,"author_id":"Alfred+Russel+Wallace"},{"text":"A crisp roast chicken would set the world aright.","author":"George R.R.

Any world that contained all this, I thought surveying our loot, was a very fine place. I felt reinvigorated, alive, optimistic. The though of getting back to work suddenly seemed like fun.","author":"Ruth Reichl","tags":["food","food-love"],"id":363155,"author_id":"Ruth+Reichl"},{"text":"I like bread, and I like butter - but I like bread with butter best.","author":"Sarah Weiner","tags":["bread","butter","food","food-love","humour"],"id":380828,"author_id":"Sarah+Weiner"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":14,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
