What food would you be a connoisseur of?

Mustard, I suppose. Nothing quite like old-style Dijon mustard prepared in small batches with some white wine.

Coffee. 

 

Yes, it's a food. 

 

Also, baked goods and barbecue. 

[Psyrus]

Buffalo chicken and beer.  I blame college, and I don't regret anything about it.

American coffee would qualify as soup.

[Megalyth]

Take a guess.

Do cookies count as food?

[geo]

Pizza. Chicken tacos. Asian Orange Chicken. Asian Sesame Chicken. Hamburgers.

 

I don't really take risks at new restaurants so I order the default from that selection. It they mess up one of those things I'll never return. If they don't mess it up and I do return maybe I'll have something else in the future.

If its made with flour its a food. Licorice is made with flour therefore it is a food. My county had this argument as there was a candy tax like 10+ years ago and flour was exempt.

I'm not sure if that's good or bad. 

As far as my coffee goes, I'm very particular about how I grind it. Burr grinder, rotate the beans so I always have fresh stock, use reverse osmosis water and usually do it as pour over. To ensure consistency, I weigh out the water and beans down to the gram and time the duration that hot water is in contact with the grounds. Of course, I also have an Italian espresso machine and two Moka pots as well as a french press, but pour over is the best IMO.

I'm too pedestrian for cheeses so nut butters. Or if I'm not feeling very patriotic, pasta!

That sounds more like how my mother would make coffee, and I'll happily drink that. I've however have never been a connoisseur of coffee. I am more like a smoker who needs his fix past the point of dignity. Cigarette butts or a fresh package doesn't matter. I'll happily drink yesterdays instant coffee - cold. I probably should not call american coffee habits bad when mine are almost equal - ha.

 

How would you make coffee on a typical Tuesday-before-work morning?

I usually don't wake up early enough to make my coffee before heading to work. :) I've actually got a miniature version of my pour over kit in my office, including a hot plate and hand crank burr grinder. That way, I can have my coffee fresh when I need it most, which is usually between 8am and 10:30. Definitely not a morning person, heh.
