Seafood, Meats, Poulty, Game
Fish -
the glory of the master inspired by genius; the stumbling block of ordinery cooks
Meat -
Heaven sends us good meat but the devil sends cooks
Turkey -
One of the finest gifts which the old world has received from the new.
Game
The meat of noblemen - beef was peasant fodder
Digitizer’s note
I (David) find this quote odd, given the etymology of beef runs through the Old French boef. We have a separate word for meet of the cow precisely because the French-speaking aristocracy ate it.
The only game animal I’m aware of where we have a separate name for the meet is venison for deer.
