At all times, people have imagined, argued, and philosophized about food: eating is a fun, intelligent, and subtle art. It’s a lively, sensual process that can be as sophisticated as it is subtle, and as fun as it is revolting. The physical, emotional, and communicative eating process is described, celebrated, or caricatured in literary samples. The selected texts include satires, ideas, poems, and passages from narrative literature from different eras. Oscar Wilde said that after a good meal, one can forgive everyone, even his own relatives.
