Does anyone else pair different foods with headphones? For example, when eating barbecue, especially slow cooked styles, I enjoy listening to my ATH-A700's because of their darker, more bassy sound stage. When eating steak and having a glass of wine, I prefer my HD 555's because they are more neutral and allow me to enjoy the flavors of the meal a little more. 
 
I'm not sure if anyone else has this same thought or even notices a difference, but let me know what you think

I avoid the following while listening to any pair of phones:
granola, cereal, chips, pretzels, and cucumber.

I don't like to eat with my full size headphones on...

Can't hear correctly when munching, so.
That said, I thought this post was about "what food would you accord to a specific headphone according to the sound signature". Out of the Discman D-33, Coppers would be New York steak and a splash of black peppers. EW9... I'd go out on a limb here and say lime wagashi. DT880 just changes way too much with different amps.

Well it sort of is about that. I pick my headphones that have sound signatures that accentuate the food I'm eating.

LOL...the newest craze...pairing headphones with cheese and wine...

What a kooky thread! I kind of like it, though it probably should have been in the Lounge.
 
Eating while listening produces microphonics for me, especially with closed headphones, so I generally avoid it.

The only food I mix with headphones is mushrooms
 
 
 
 
Oh the shitaki variety of course.
