A bon mot about a good meal

[pegkerr]

I ran across this in a book I was browsing in this weekend while Christmas shopping and it amused me, so I copied it down:

If the soup had been as warm as the wine, and the wine as old as the fish, and the fish as young as the maid, and the maid as willing as the hostess, it would have been a very good meal.

if the wine had been as old as the turkey,
and if the turkey had had a breast like the maid,
it would have been a swell dinner." - Duncan Hines
