"It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it... There is communion of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine drunk."
M.F.K. Fisher, The Gastronomical Me (1943)
