I have English coursework due tomorrow, which I've actually written (YAY), but I need a title. Unfortunately, the title HAS to be a proverb or words of wisdom (whatever) to do with food. Anyone know any?

"Too many cooks spoil the broth" That's the most obvious one, I guess.

Well Confucious says....

Man Who Stand On Toilet High On Pot.


and he also says...


Woman who sits in jelly has ass in jam.

If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Or if you can't stand the meat, stay out of the chicken, I guess.

He says he's finished it and only needs a title.

Hmmm...

Nah, nothing zippy comes to mind.

ya dont know if its edible until ya eats it!

So you're starting your English coursework the night before it's due in?

No, I'm printing it the night before it's due in. I just haven't go a title yet, 'cause when I was writing it I figured I'd just add that in later.

Maybe if you give us an idea about the topic of the coursework we could come up with better titles.

It's to do with diets, and these wholefood shops nowadays that you go in and they pull out your hair and doodle on your fingernails and conclude that - WAY! - you're allergic to dairy/nuts/wheat/custard/english etc.

"Never trust a skinny cook"

"All meals should try not to include Nuts."

"Only when the last tree has died and
The last river has been poisoned and
The last fish has been caught,
Will we realise that
We cannot eat money"
-Cree proverb

:p
lol.... great

Yeah, I know, it wouldn't fit your essay...it's just one of my favs...

right, well, i was just at wholefoods last night and they had all these pamphlets regarding healthy foods with snappy little widomatic sayings. too bad i didn't bring any home. however, may i suggest a visit there for some good quotable/ title material?

Life is good. Eat it up.

snappy little widomatic sayings.

I like that. Maybe that could be a proverb for a while?

What is food to one, to another is bitter poison.
- Lucretius

or perhaps

Health food makes me sick.
- Calvin Trillin

Theres always a few of my favs:

"Who is the more foolish, the fool or the fool that follows?"

"Life is but a Dream within a Dream."

"If you worry about life to much, you'll never get out alive."

"A mans fate is a mans fate, and life is but an allusion."

my parents have had the following quote, framed, hanging on the wall of their dining room for my whole life:

"He who hath a merry heart hath a continual feast."

Preach water, drink wine.

Shame it has to be about food, otherwise i'd have used:

"One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one’s work is terribly important."
- Bertrand Russell

and not done anything ;)

Depending on what you want:

"One should eat to live, not live to eat."

"Food is our common ground, a universal experience."

Or:

"Never eat anything that you can't lift."

"This doughnut has purple in it. Purple's a fruit"

"I can't believe i ate the whole thing!"

"Mmmmm...

Homer: Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute. Lisa honey, are you
saying you're *never* going to eat any animal again? What about
bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal!
Homer: [Chuckles] Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.


(Homer as a food critic)
"Aaw! it's so hard to get to 500 words"

"Good drink ... good meat ... good God, let's eat!"

"You mean grease is money?!? Woo hoo! my arteries are filled with yellow gold!"

"You are what you eat."

"Pass the air. How eating will kill you, but not eating will kill you faster."

"You are what you eat."
I've always wondered about this one. Let's say it's true, then if a cow eats grass, then the cow is grass. If you then eat the cow, then you're a vegetarian, because the cow is grass. Of course, this means you are grass too.

by the Beatles
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

"Expecting bad things to not happen to you because you're a good person is like not expecting that bull to impale you because you're a vegetarian."

Never eat anything that's still moving. Well, nothing that you can't catch, anyway.
