Movie Quotes Involving Food

Lately I've been getting into this Yelp review thing. Today I was setting up my profile and wanted a catchy line to place in the Headline section. So, I started researching funny movie quotes dealing with food. I figured there had to be plenty, but I really found very few sites that had good lists of movie quotes with food. They agreed with some of mine, I ended up choosing the When Harry Met Sally, "I'll have what she's having!" after the infamous fake orgasm scene.

But there are so many more I love, and some good contenders.

One of the one's I wanted, "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." from The Godfather. Love that line, but I've never actually seen The Godfather movies. I only know this line from You've Got Mail, I guess I like Meg Ryan movies.

Another good one: "I have been trying this new fat free diet I invented. All I've had to eat for the past six days are gummy bears, jelly beans, and candy corns." from Romy & Michele's High School Reunion

And of course, "A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti." from The Silence of the Lambs. (Is it possible to read that without hearing Anthony Hopkins voice?)
I'm going to put some of my favorite food and drink movie and TV quotes below, in no particular order of favorites.
