“Food is the best way to teach history and geography and most everythin...” — Mark Kurlansky Quote

Food is the best way to teach history and geography and most everything else.

Commercial fishing is always so behind the curve of technology that they were building ships with wooden hulls and masts in the 1940s, though it also had a diesel engine, which probably was used most of the time.

I'm usually writing about survival. I never planned it, but it runs through all my books.

I have an increasingly strong feeling that all of us, myself included, too many times make too many statements and don't ask enough questions.

Before refrigeration, most food was heavily salted. Many of these salted foods have persisted, such as sauerkraut, pickles, cured anchovies, cheese, salted butter, ham, corned beef, sausage, and bacon. We still eat these things because we like them. But they are no longer the mainstay of our diet.

I don't believe in twisting yourself into knots of excuses and explanations over the food you make.

I think people are transient. Back in the early church, there was a 'stick and stay' mentality. In this day and time, people have a fast food mentality of ministry. If it doesn't fit them or if it doesn't fit in their schedule, they'll move on to something else. That's a norm in today's time.

When I'm able to eat cheap and delicious food, like ramen and beef bowls, I can't stop but to think, 'Ah, what a great era I was born in.'

A corpse is meat gone bad. Well and what's cheese? Corpse of milk.

Food and energy account for a significant portion of household budgets, so the Federal Reserve's inflation objective is defined in terms of the overall change in consumer prices.
