"I simply love the way Basques serve wine. Wine should be served in an old bottle or jugs and be poured into juice glasses to drink. The wine should not be so big and bold that it overpowers. ... Wine is treated like it should be here...AS FERMENTED GRAPE JUICE, not as a pretentious monstrosity served by snobs to snobs in stemware!" – sacwoodpusher

"Pigeon is the national dish of Cairo, and up and down the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road, you see these pigeon farms with these white cathedral like structures where the pigeons roost and breed. They stuff the pigeon with some sort of rice mixture, and then eat the whole thing—bones and all." – roxlet

"I will start by listening to the chord, but often find myself hearing the notes." – MGZ on tasting individual flavors versus the gestalt of a dish
