And though various organizations in America and England collected money and sent food parcels to these refugees nothing was ever received by the Spanish.

I love Caribbean food. It's a great melting pot of so many cultures including the Native Americans.

There's a lot of processed food in America and I know that can make some tourists who're used to fresh food feel sick.

I heard about the project over a year before we began. My American agent said 'Oh you might want to read 'In Cold Blood' because they're talking about you for Capote but the script's with Johnny Depp and Sean Penn at the moment.' So these things take their time to dribble down the food chain.

America is becoming more and more dependent upon imports from foreign manufacturers than we are exports from our country in all fields: in appliances in clothing even food. This year America may become for the first time in its history a net food importer.

America is a such a melting pot I'm not sure if roast chicken is the classic comfort food for everybody.

Meat is a big deal in my life. I do love breakfast food but I don't think that's extraordinary. I'm a normal American. We love eggs and meat and potatoes and gravy.

I had no accomplishments except surviving. But that isn't enough in the community where I came from because everybody was doing it. So I wasn't prepared for America where everybody is glowing with good teeth and good clothes and food.

In corn I think I've found the key to the American food chain. If you look at a fast-food meal a McDonald's meal virtually all the carbon in it - and what we eat is mostly carbon - comes from corn.

I'm not sure that some of the food purists are in touch with what really goes on in American households.
