Gastronomy Enthusiast Gifts

'This is delicious. I'm glad I didn't try to order in Italian.'

Come dine with me!

"Do you mind if I give you feedback?"

'Not an unqualified success chef...'

'If you were in a hurry, sir, you shoudn't have ordered the overnight marinade.'

'I don't mind pigging out as long as it's not on empty calories.'

'Well, I never!'

Thinking about food a lot

"How would you describe your trip to China?"

'Oh, it's definitely the chef's surprise. He got fired for it.'

"The chef is a frustrated architect."

"The chef sends his apologies, sir, and says he'll try to get it right next time."

"And here you have a brown thing next to something greenish, with some sort of brown runny stuff underneath it."

"This might not be very good. Our cook is in a really bad mood."

The Chef

Survival of the Foodiest

"We take pride in offering food that's simple, basic, yet absurdly expensive."

"Could sir kindly eat more slowly, the signature dish takes a rather long time to make."

'You'd like to speak to the chef? -- Really, sir, it's better to let sleeping dogs lie.'

"I wondered what would come after Cajun and sushi."

"While you've been out tormenting your bodies, I've been enjoying an active and satisfying gastric life."

"When you asked for my recommendations, sir, you may recall that the rognons de veau was not among them."

"Well, finally!!"

"Bring me something impaled on a tusk."

"Step right up, lady and gents, and scoop yourself a heaping helping of the best spicy meat and bean stew this side of the mighty Mississippi!"

The smokiness of this overpowers my palate --- I'd like some bacon with more subtle flavors. A swine snob.

"It probably tastes better than it looks!"

'Grumphie and frijol yields an unpleasant aubade.'

Nigella Lawson

"This time, let's not just fill up on bread."

"What would I recommend...not eating here!"

Look, dear, the marker says history repeated itself here...

Large lady ordering lots of food.

Try to guess the continent dining...
