“The cook cares not a bit for toil, toil, if the fowl be plump and fat”
Horace
“Fat and lazy is an oxymoron, a paradox. It is the hardest job in the world. It pays nothing, every step you carry all that extra fat, costs extra for food and clothes, it reduces the % of those attracted to you dramatically. No vacations, no weekends, not even 90 minutes in a theater without holding your elbows in tightly to your sides to keep from offending a neighboring viewer. Every time you turn over in bed you turn you plus all that extra weight. It is a horrible job. I quit that damn job!”
Lollie Dot Com (yes, legal name change 2004)
“They sure seem healthy. They're feeding. They look fat and plump.”
Steve Jackson
“Not presume to dictate, but broiled fowl and mushrooms - capital thing!”
Charles Dickens
“And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, / And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; / Every raven after his kind; / And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, / And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, / And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, / And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.”
Bible
“Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.”
“Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, / There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.”
