Just shows you the trouble you can get in if youre not an audiophile. Before I was, I got kicked out of Cub Scouts for eating too many Brownies.--Mrmitch
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.

Lots of Huevos Rancheros made with fresh tortillas, fresh eggs, and most importantly, New Mexican chili sauce made with Hatch chiles. Serve with refried beans and add a dollop or two of fresh sour cream to the plate. Yum-O ...!! Here's the best sauce for the dish that I've found. Just like they serve in the down-home restaurants in Sante Fe: https://store.505southwestern.com/collections/salsas/products/hatch-valley-tomatillo-garlic-lime-sal... Frank |
I'm curious what an eat audiophile is, I had never heard that term and that I work in a restaurant in NY with 100 dollar burgers with cheese, but hey rich guys can put whatever name they want, so they keep paying me, I think I found more info here on the subject of audiophile boys, even if it is new I raise my curiosity ..

The connection between food and music is an ancient one. In fact the connection between music and almost everything is an ancient one. Anyway here are some Music Food Quotes courtesy of FoodReference com http://www.foodreference.com/html/qmusic.html “I am sure my music has a taste of codfish in it.” "If music be the food of love, play on, "Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist." “Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence" “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?] “The local wine, a dinner at your friends' house, and music performed by amateurs are three things to be equally dreaded.” [Lockdowns would have held no fear for this gentleman it seems] “Next to jazz music, there is nothing that lifts the spirit and strengthens the soul more than a good bowl of chili.” “Give me book, fruit, French wine, and fine weather and a little music out of doors played by someone I do not know.” [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.”
“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.” “Some men are like musical glasses; to produce their finest tones you must keep them wet.” [Someone said that life without music made little sense - many might say the same for alcohol] |
@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. |
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.

@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! |
