More From M. F. K. Fisher

I would like a wine. the purpose of the wine is to get me drunk. a bad wine will get me as drunk as a good wine. i would like the good wine. and since the result is the same no matter which wine i drink, i'd like to pay the bad wine price.
Wine Drunk Purpose
We ask ourselves all kinds of questions, such as why does a peacock have such beautiful feathers, and we may answer that he needs the feathers to impress a female peacock, but then we ask ourselves, and why is there a peacock? and then we ask, why is there anything living? and then we ask, why is there anything at all? and if you tell some advocate of scientism that the answer is a secret, he will go white hot and write a book. but it is a secret. and the experience of living with the secret and thinking about it is in itself a kind of faith.
Beautiful Book Writing
Broken bottles, broken plates, broken switches, broken gates. broken dishes, broken parts, streets are filled with broken hearts.
Heart Reality Broken
Therefore bread was created for the glory of christ. hunger and thirst were created for the glory of christ. and fasting was created for the glory of christ. which means that bread magnifies christ in two ways: by being eaten with gratitude for his goodness, and by being forfeited out of hunger for god himself. when we eat, we taste the emblem of our heavenly food—the bread of life. and when we fast we say, “i love the reality above the emblem.” in the heart of the saint both eating and fasting are worship. both magnify christ.
Gratitude Heart Mean
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… and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied… and it is all one.
Food Writing Reality
