I'm not crazy about oysters and offal and brains and stuff like that. It's vegetables that I really like. I worked in the River Cafe restaurant when it first opened, and I used to eat the leftover vegetables on the plates. They were so delicious.

I really like oysters, and I won't eat them alone. They're just a weird thing to eat by yourself.

A typical Christmas is me shucking oysters. I love them and I always get them in at Christmas.

When I travel I normally eat club sandwiches or I bring my own food. When you go into a new town, it's very had to find a good place to eat.

I go out and take oysters, clams and mussels every 2 weeks or so during late fall, winter and early spring. I particularly like to go out when there is a below-average ebb tide because that exposes clamming grounds and oysters that are usually under water.

I spent loads of time in Scotland as a kid. My dad would take us back up to Aberdeen loads, and I have very fond memories of getting chips from his favourite chippy and heading down to the beach to eat Baskin Robbins ice cream.

That's always my downfall on tour: the food. I just want to eat everything.

Life is too short to not have oysters and champagne sometimes.

I used to work for a catering company - I waitressed for Harry Winston events. I remember being so hungry, I would eat when I was supposed to be catering to other people.

If you go back in American history, oysters were the food of poor people. New York was filled with oyster saloons in the 1800s.
