Food Quote Friday: George Harrison

A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert — yes you know it's good news...
But you’ll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle."

Food Quote Friday: Benoît Charest

"J'veux pas finir ma vie à Singapour
Jouer au dico manger des petits fours
Moi j'veux être zidiote
Triplement zidiote
Gondolée comme une Triplette de Belleville

I won’t be an old man in Singapore
Playing scrabble and eating petits-fours
I want to be wicked,
Utterly wicked,
Wicked like a Triplet from Belleville"
