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.

Chicken wings from Buffalo, NY.  The real deal.

I worked as as a bagel baker in Portland, Maine. The owners had studied in NYC with traditional bagel bakers and we did it right -- baked on boards, not sheet-pans. Bagels steam on sheet-pans -- that's no way to get the proper texture/crust. I ate a ton of bagels while working there but I have no idea to what extent that might've influenced my listening or gear preferences. I was listening mostly to Jazz at that point and didn't have a lot of money for gear. System was a 100 watt Nakamichi receiver, Denon CDP and some B&W's (P5's?). Never thought to try using bagels as footers, though. 

I continued baking another 6 years -- long enough to develop an allergy to both wheat and yeast. I haven't eaten real bread in close to 20 years. Still listening to Jazz, though -- haven't become allergic yet.
