On My Plate Quotes

“Overwhelming ! People think about jumping off bridges . . . when they see what I have on my plate . . . and thats just before lunch”
― Kevin Kolenda

“Thin sheets of warm roti and mana'eesh are best for scooping food from plate to mouth like tactile, edible cutlery, but bread is better for sponging up the delicious detritus from the plate. The soft, open crumb swells with cream or curry sauce, gravy or meat juices, to leave us replete. A Chinese host may take a mopped plate as a sign that more food is needed, yet I would rather think of each painterly flourish as a signature, a thank-you note to the cook.”
― Nigel Slater, A Thousand Feasts: Small Moments of Joy… A Memoir of Sorts
