Does Anybody Love Bad Food?

A question prompted by my thousandth encounter with this sort of statement: "He loved good food and good wine..."

  1. In this context - "good" translates as "expensive"... And wanting to other people to know he can afford it!

    1. Doubtless you are right. I've never felt comfortable in a fancy restaurant. Luckily I've very rarely been in one...

  2. When she was five or six, one of my.sisters wrote this poem:

    I like good food.
    I like bad food.
    I like food.

    1. It's a great poem and I heartily endorse the sentiment!

      So the answer to my question, is: yes. Six-year-old poets!
