The most famous of food sayings must be Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin's fourth aphorism from Physiologie du Gout: 'Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es'. Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are. Brillat-Savarin's implication is that food communicates, but his command is to communicate about food.
