Famous quotes containing the word food:

    “This is the only “wet” community in a wide area, and is the rendezvous of cow hands seeking to break the monotony of chuck wagon food and range life. Friday night is the “big time” for local cowboys, and consequently the calaboose is called the “Friday night jail.””
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “When no food is given to the ear,
    Then let a little be given to the stomach.”
    —Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
