Actually this is not about food so much as it is about writing.
From 1934 to 1975 Rex Stout chronicled the adventures of Archie Goodwin (fictional detective) and Nero Wolfe.
If you have not yet made Archie’s acquaintence yet you really should. He’s a fun guy. Dances 2 or 3 nights a week, heiress girlfriend with interesting connections that can usually scare up a buck or two. Often deployed by his boss as a sympathetic face for women to cry on the shoulder of (Wolfe hates that and almost always leaves the room in disgust).
Still, among your other exciting duties are the cataloging of the orchid hybrids and book keeping.
