…… 美食是無與倫比的文化樂趣，因為沒有其他的文化樂趣帶來同樣的哲學挑戰 —— 要欣賞一樣東西，你需要摧毀它，崇敬和消滅是一體的……
—路易斯．費南多．維里西默（巴西作家）
“…gastronomy was a cultural pleasure like no other, for no other brought with it the same philosophical challenge by which appreciation demanded the destruction of the thing appreciated and where veneration and consumption were one…”
—Luis Fernando Verissimo, Brazilian writer
