We eat well. Just had a home-baked soda bread sandwich of roasted chicken breast, sliced black heirloom tomato, aged English cheddar, organic mayonnaise and cracked pink salt. Home-baked chocolate almond flour torte with chestnut liquor icing for desert.
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.

@stuartk, I worked at a paper mill that made grease proof lining paper to put on baking boards and sheets. If your bakery wasn't using our grease proof lining papers, you weren't getting the best flavor out of your bagels! Cheers, |
We baked bagels on boards, covered in burlap. We'd take bagels out of the kettle, sprinkle the boards with seeds if necessary, place bagels on top of boards then let the oven do one rotation. At that point, we'd stop oven and flip bagels directly onto the oven shelf to finish. This is what yields the authentic texture. However, I've worked at other bakeries where we used tons of sheet pan liners!

@stuartk , No worries. Was telling you this as more "tongue-in-cheek. True story about paper mill and grease proof lining paper. I'm long since retired and baking just brought back the memories of that place. Just kidding around, lol. I'm sure you forgot more about baking than I'll ever know. Cheers! |
