If you earned your living as a CRITIC what would you most enjoy criticizing? Food, music, acting, literature, other? Why?

Since I'm  FOODIE I'd love to get paid to criticize the food of 4-star restaurants WORLDWIDE! An international food critic. Is 4-star as high as they go? If not I'd only criticize the best of the best of the best. After all my  palate is not for sale to the lowest of the low. There are others who can do that job. You know the local hot dog stand, taco truck, juice emporium, chicken/waffle kitchen, burger joint, pizza palace? My palate is meant for classier things in classier joints. How about your palate? Does it appreciate fine foods or will it settle for anything that doesn't move /bite?

    You already asked this question a couple of months ago. I remember my answer: "Food...Why? Free food."

    I had cancer in 2008 and was told the chemo would affect my memory. It does and has. I ask thousands of questions. So shoot me why don't you? This post was edited by RosieG at December 11, 2017 12:49 PM MST

  • I don't really have a favorite genre :) It can be any genre as long as it's well written. Happy Monday to you, too :)

    Fair enough. So you're not  hooked on any particular form  or author then? Fair enough. Thank you for the additional info. For me it would be scifi. Why? Well Quantum Physics fascinates me and of course scifi stems from much that is central to Quantum Physics. Historical novels as well. My favorite author though is John Steinbeck. There was a certain magic to what he wrote about. A certain surreal atmosphere even though it was based on his life and his community and the people he knew. It drew me in and made me wish I had lived then with the denizens of Cannery Row. I wrote to him and I got a lovely response in his own hand dated May 9, 1964. But I digress.

  • Oh yes, Cannery row! I think I was that woman who tried to fix up the pipe-thing they were living in but finally lost my marbles. It's been a long time since I read that. Do you like Robert A. Heinlein?

    Yep. But my all-time favorite piece of scifi hands down without exception is "Flower for Algernon". It was the basis of the movie with Cliff Robertson titled "CHARLY". Don't know if you saw it. It was poignantly heartbreaking to me and I still remember it very clearly. The author is Daniel Keyes  Coincidences fascinate me. Your mentioning the pipe-thing. Long ago I was in an acting class and did a scene playing her. Another coincidence. The book "The Log from the Sea of Cortez" which tells of the real-life trip Steinbeck made with Doc to Baja, California to do some research. I met guy on Answerbag (predecessor to Answermug) who moved with his lady from Newport Beach, California to Baja, California to a town called San Felipe. I got goosebumps when he told me where they were moving. In the book there is a map and so I knew exactly where he and his Lady lived. Coincidence? I dunno.
