Some bonus quotes: Holmes talks a lot about food and eating in this episode because Mycroft keeps inviting him to his restaurant Diogenes. Holmes keeps standing him up, however, and when Watson reminds him about meeting his brother for dinner, Holmes goes on a rant about taking food too seriously: “You must by now be aware of my opinions regarding food. My wants in life are simple: a loaf of bread and a clean collar. The ritualization-slash-fetishization of eating is as egregious a waste of time as I can think of.” Later, after they finally have had dinner together, Mycroft asks Holmes how it was; Holmes replies that “just because I tend to forgo epicurean pleasures doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate them. It was exquisite.”
