More From Calvin Trillin
- "The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found."
- "When it comes to Chinese food I have always operated under the policy that the less known about the preparation the better. A wise diner who is invited to visit the kitchen replies by saying, as politely as possible, that he has a pressing engagement elsewhere."
- "I never did very well in math – I could never seem to persuade the teacher that I hadn’t meant my answers literally."
