Food: What does the typical audiophile eat?


Here's an interesting question. What does the typical audiophile eat? Does the type of food reflect on the type of audiophile?
Taking bagels for example, I may like an occasional onion or cinnamon but always go back to the plain old plain bagel for long term eating. But a plain Ray's Bagel from NYC sure is better than the Lender's variety. Hard to go back after that.

The connection between food and music is an ancient one. In fact the connection between music and almost everything is an ancient one.

“I am sure my music has a taste of codfish in it.”
Edvard Hagerup Grieg, Norwegian composer (1843-1907)
 

"If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die."
William Shakespeare, ‘Twelfth Night’
 

"Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist."
G.K Chesterton (1874-1936)
[Sorry GK, can't agree with you on that one]


“Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence"
Robert Fripp, guitarist and cofounder of the band King Crimson (1969)
 

“The fine arts are five in number, namely: painting, sculpture, poetry, music, and architecture, the principal branch of the latter being pastry.”

“We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks.”

[Do KFC, McDonald's, fish and chip shops, pizza parlours etc also count?]

[Was this always a surprisingly difficult combination to find in the UK?]

 

“Some people like to paint pictures, or do gardening, or build a boat in the basement. Other people get a tremendous pleasure out of the kitchen, because cooking is just as creative and imaginative an activity as drawing, or wood carving, or music.”
Julia Child

 

“To give life to beauty, the painter uses a whole range of colours, musicians of sounds, the cook of tastes -- and it is indeed remarkable that there are seven colours, seven musical notes and seven tastes.”
Lucien Tendret (1825-1896)
 

“Some men are like musical glasses; to produce their finest tones you must keep them wet.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)
 

[Someone said that life without music made little sense - many might say the same for alcohol]

They say you are what you eat, a few here like to eat wieners the cocktail type.

I prefer a Smokey Link served in the bleachers at Wriggly 
Whatever I eat, like music, it goes in one end and is  transformed before coming out the other end.😂

No offense but this is the most absurd question I’ve come across. Then you kick the thread off with the most boring food, bagels. You’re telling us you eat raisin bagels sometimes but always go back to plain bagels for long term enjoyment. Sweet Jesus, I haven’t laughed this hard in a couple of days.

@launche "Sweet Jesus, I haven’t laughed this hard in a couple of days."

Back at you. Best response of all time.

Who’s the idiot who started this thread? Oh, me, sorry.
