Novel Food

Two culinary thoughts from Kirin Desai:

"...gradually his face took on an expression of grudging pudding contentment."

"No fruit dies so vile and offensive a death as the banana."

From The Inheritance of Loss
*************************************************************
Kate laughed out loud when she read the following passage. She claims it describes me perfectly.

"He spent the day shopping and making risotto in the time-honored male way, removing all the utensils from the drawers and laying them out like surgical instruments, then decanting all the ingredients into small bowls to maximize the washing up."

From a spot of bother by Mark Haddon
