On May 8, 1945, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced the end of the Second World War. Heconcluded his radio address with “Nothing should prevent us from celebrating Victory Day in Europe today and tomorrow!” But before Churchill responded to his own call to celebrate the victory, he turned to his cook(廚師), GeorginaLandemare, and said “Without you I would not have survived the war.” This was meant in deadly(非常) earnest(認真), for eating well was essential to the stability and well-being of the statesman. It was Churchill’s belief that one should offer the body something good, so that the soul(靈魂) may desire to dwell(居住) in it.

1945 年 5 月 8 日，英國首相溫斯頓邱吉爾宣布第二次世界大戰結束。他在廣播演講的結尾說：「沒有什麼可以阻止我們今天和明天在歐洲慶祝勝利日！」但在邱吉爾響應自己的號召慶祝勝利之前，他轉向他的廚師喬治娜·蘭德梅爾說：「沒有你，我就不可能在戰爭中倖存下來。」他的意思是認真的，因為吃得好對政治家的穩定和幸福至關重要。邱吉爾相信，一個人應該給身體一些好的東西，這樣靈魂才會渴望居住在其中。

       Landemare entered Churchill’s kitchen in 1930. She soon learned that it would be anything but(一點也不) easy to meet the culinary(烹飪的) demands of the master(主人) of the house. His answer to the question of what he liked was: “My taste is simple. I am easily satisfied with the best.” And her dishes stood up(經得住) to his discerning(眼光敏銳的) palate(味覺). She knew his culinary(烹飪的) preferences as well as his dislikes. Churchill appreciated traditional English dishes like chicken and roast beef. He preferred clear bouillons(牛肉等的清湯) to cream soups, and if he had to choose between fish and shellfish(貝類；甲殼類動物，例如 蝦、蟹), he chose the latter.

蘭德梅爾於 1930 年進入邱吉爾的廚房。她很快就發現，要滿足男主人的烹飪要求絕非易事。他對自己的喜好問題的回答是：「我的口味很簡單。我很容易對最好的感到滿意。」她做的菜也符合邱吉爾挑剔的味蕾。她了解他的烹調喜好，也了解他的厭惡。邱吉爾欣賞傳統的英式菜餚，如雞肉和烤牛肉。他喜歡清澈的肉湯而不是奶油湯，如果必須在魚和貝類之間做出選擇，他會選擇後者。

      Churchill preferred to finish his dinner with cheese. However, he was not enthusiastic about Cheddar, the most popular cheese in the English kingdom; rather, the blue cheese Stilton was his favorite. The gourmet(美食家) insisted that cheese that came to his table should not be bought just anywhere, but only at a particular(特定的) fromagerie(起司店). “A gentleman(紳士) only buys his(指邱吉爾) cheese at Paxton & Whitfield(為英國一家起司專賣店),” he said. The traditional company still exists and has been one of the suppliers(供應商) of the British Royal Family for many years. Desserts such as puddings or tarts, on the other hand, were never high on Churchill’s culinary(烹飪的) agenda(議程).

邱吉爾喜歡用起司來結束他的晚餐。然而，他並不熱衷於英國最受歡迎的起司-切達起司；相反，他最喜歡的是史提爾頓藍紋起司。這位美食家堅持認為，送到他餐桌上的起司不應該隨便買，而應該在特定的起司店購買。 「紳士只會在帕克斯頓和惠特菲爾德購買乳酪，」他說。這家傳統的起司公司至今仍然存在，並且多年來一直是英國皇室的供應商之一。另一方面，像布丁或派這樣的甜點在邱吉爾的烹飪日程上從來都不是首選。

      The prime minister often invited people to dinner parties(晚宴) at his home. He used dining as an art to display his conversational(會話的) talents and to engage in(從事於) political(政治的) debate(辯論，討論), to confer with(商討) friends and to win over(爭取) rivals(對手). During theWWII, he used dining to exert(發揮) his conversational skills to persuade his allies(ally的複數，盟友), Franklin Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin,to fight the war. Churchill used dining and the dinner table(餐桌) to do what could not always be done at the conference table(會議桌).

這位首相經常邀請人們到他家參加晚宴。他把用餐當作一門藝術，展現自己的談話才能，參與政治辯論，與朋友商議，贏得對手的支持。二戰期間，他利用用餐來發揮自己的談話技巧，說服盟友富蘭克林·羅斯福和約瑟夫·史達林參戰。邱吉爾則利用用餐和餐桌來做那些在談判桌上無法做到的事情。
