As with any large town or city, food and drink has played an important role in the commerce and culture of Birmingham, England.
Famous quotes containing the words food and/or drink:
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
“I only drink to make other people seem more interesting.”
—George Jean Nathan (1882–1958)
