Famous quotes containing the words breton and/or cuisine:

    “The approval of the public is to be avoided like the plague. It is absolutely essential to keep the public from entering if one wishes to avoid confusion. I must add that the public must be kept panting in expectation at the gate by a system of challenges and provocations.”
    —André Breton (1896–1966)

    “Thank God for the passing of the discomforts and vile cuisine of the age of chivalry!”
