― Barbara Kingsolver, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
“Watching Italians eat (especially men, I have to say) is a form of tourism the books don't tell you about. They close their eyes, raise their eyebrows into accent marks, and make sounds of acute appreciation. It's fairly sexy. Of course I don't know how these men behave at home, if they help with the cooking or are vain and boorish and mistreat their wives. I realized Mediterranean cultures have their issues. Fine, don't burst my bubble. I didn’t want to marry these guys, I just wanted to watch.” ― Barbara Kingsolver, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
