Just because the Americans are so good at rattling out accessible and cheap junk food nobody looks twice when it comes to their food. But there are golden nuggets everywhere.

You know most of the food that Americans hold so dear - things like hamburgers and hot dogs - were road food but even before they were road food they were peasant food.

I love South American food and I haven't really been down there. I really need a vacation.

Well first of all we've got to get away from being offended by the truth. We've seen a 41 percent increase in food stamp recipients across the United States of America since President Obama was sworn in in January 2009. That has nothing to do with black white Hispanic or whatever. It's a fact and we need to you know deal with that.

I like to cook Puerto Rican food. That's what I grew up on: rice beans meat some Italian-American food. I know my way around the kitchen.

We were raised in an Italian-American household although we didn't speak Italian in the house. We were very proud of being Italian and had Italian music ate Italian food.

As we say in the American Institute of Wine and Food small helpings no seconds. A little bit of everything. No snacking. And have a good time.

I am thankful I was born in America although if I gain any more weight the burqa thing may start to seem like a good idea to me. See? Another plus about America you can always find some food.

The lunch in a normal American restaurant is very problematic for me. I don't like to have hot food for lunch.

The passion of the Italian or the Italian-American population is endless for food and lore and everything about it.

President Obama is the most successful food stamp president in American history. I would like to be the most successful paycheck president in American history.

Is it a coincidence that in 1998 Barack Obama talks about a majority coalition of welfare recipients and in 2012 we got a record number of Americans on food stamps while he's president? I don't think it's a coincidence.

In America I would say New York and New Orleans are the two most interesting food towns. In New Orleans they don't have a bad deli. There's no mediocrity accepted.

An Englishman teaching an American about food is like the blind leading the one-eyed.

It's easy for Americans to forget that the food they eat doesn't magically appear on a supermarket shelf.

If you're going to America bring your own food.

I was a bit worried coming back to the Premiership from America but I have been pleased with my form and the interest I have received has been good for my ego. I have no worries about my fitness and I am really looking forward to the season starting now.
