When there's no bread, pound cake will do. When two people are in love, an apple is enough food for both. Cheerfulness turns dinner into a feast. Eat well, drink moderately and love to your heart's content. When one handles honey, one also licks one's fingers.
Hunger is the best cook.
Two meals won't do any harm, two beatings do. Spring water is so good when you put just a drop into a quart of wine. If it rains in May, there'll be plenty of maize. All year round people store food to have from one season to another. In autumn the preparation of pickles and zacusca is almost a ritual performed in each Romanian kitchen.
