Mary Killen on Posh Nosh (The Food Section: Quotable)

"How could some foods be 'common' and others 'posh'? Just as with clothing, houses and cars, anything that smacks of trying too hard will compromise status. These are symptoms of insecurity or of trying to cover something up. In chicken nuggets, for example, we are spared the reality of the chicken's carcass. This is dishonest and therefore common."
