The Bard Eats

All these are from the pen of William Shakespeare, born today in 1564:

"'Tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers."--Romeo and Juliet.

"Let the sky rain potatoes."--The Merry Wives of Windsor.

"Give them great meals of beef and iron and steel, they will eat like wolves and fight like devils."--Henry V.

"Mine eyes smell onions: I shall weep anon."--All's Well That Ends Well.

"And do as adversaries do in law, strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends."--The Taming of the Shrew. 

"The last taste of sweets is sweetest last."--Richard II.
