Poultry Food Quotes

"Poultry is for cookery what canvas is for painting, and the cap of Fortunatus for the charlatans. It is served to us boiled, roast, hot or cold, whole or in portions, with or without sauce, and always with equal success."
Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin  (1755-1826)

"We were not satisfied with the qualities which nature gave to poultry; art stepped in and, under the pretext of improving fowls, has made martyrs of them."
Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)

“It (pheasant) is the king of earthly poultry, as the primacy of aquatic birds belongs to the swan. What more exquisite flesh can you eat.”
Olivier de Serre

“Poultry is like meat, except when you cook it rare. Then it's like bird-flavored Jello.”
P. J. O'Rourke (1947 - )
