Abstract
This chapter is about what arouses and satisfies appetite, and what determines the pleasure of eating. These questions are addressed primarily with human experiences of eating in mind; however, we also draw heavily on the insights provided by studies of the physiological and learned bases of animal eating behaviour.
The Creator who made man such that he must eat to live, incites him to eat by means of appetite and rewards him by pleasure.
Brillat-Savarin, 1755–1826
