Revenge is best served with cold cuts.
-Tony Soprano

“Revenge is a dish best served cold”
And where that came from:
Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan, Ricardo Montelbaum’s character tells Captain Kirk, in the sinister style that made this one of the very best Trek movies, “do you know there is a Klingon proverb which says
“revenge is a dish best served cold… it is very cold, in space….”
Some mo’ in that vein:
- Revenge in cold blood is the devil’s own act and deed - Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia (1732)
- Eat the dish of revenge cold instead of hot - Charles Lowe, Prince Bismarck (1885)
- Vengeance is a dish that can be eaten cold - James Payn, In Market Overt, ch. 17 (1895)
