The German Doctors Say That

A Connoisseur Of Gastronomy Was Congratulated On His Appointment As A Director Of Indirect Contributions At Periguex: And, Above All, In The Pleasure There Would Be In Living In The Midst Of Good Cheer, In The Country Of Truffles, Partridges, Truffled Turkeys, And So Forth. "alas!" Replied With A Sigh The Sad Gastronomer, "can One Really Live At All In A Country Where There Is No Fresh Sea-fish?"

A Meal Without Wine Is Like A Day Without Sun

The Truffle Is Not A Positive Aphrodisiac, But It Can Upon Occasion Make Women Tenderer And Men More Apt To Love.

The Dyspeptic And The Drunkard Do Not Know How To Eat Or Drink.

The Limits Of Pleasure Are As Yet Neither Known Nor Fixed, And That We Have No Idea What Degree Of Bodily Bliss We Are Capable Of Attaining.
