Quotes About Gourmets

I had contrived a method by which a transient might locate the best restaurant in town. He must find the local bookshop and take advice from the proprietor, who infallibly will possess this information. Why the bookshop? Because bookshop owners are usually discriminating gourmets without too much money.
~ Jack Vance
Judging foods without regard to price is a rich mans game, and yet poor people can be gourmets able to discern a good potato from a bad one.
~ Mark Kurlansky
