“Sometimes the buzz of reading about others eating comes from the voyeu...” — Bee Wilson Quote

“Sometimes the buzz of reading about others eating comes from the voyeuristic thrill of seeing how the other half lives: the gold leaf and truffles or - in the case of Trimalchio's feast in Petronius' 'Satyricon' - the dormice and honey.”

“I like quinoa. I like gingerbread. I feel they should be kept separate. I'm not in favor of this thing of making kind of raw, vegan chocolate cake and saying it's as good as chocolate cake. I mean, just eat cake and be done with it. And then have a separate meal of quinoa.”

“In the right circumstances, I'm a big fan of eating alone. Often, on a Sunday evening, I go to a yoga class whose charm is largely that it gives me an alibi to avoid cooking family supper for once. I return to have boiled eggs and soldiers in silence with a book. Bliss.”

“I had a faux-hawk for a while and I used to buzz the sides and design it. It was really bad.”

“I mean, the competition is really created by the buzz around the Emmys. It's a totally subjective thing.”

“Snooker still fascinates me and I still get a buzz from it.”
