The Fruits Are Ripe

The esoteric culinary philosophical meaning of Friedrich Hölderlin poem involves unpacking the symbolic nature of its imagery and language within a culinary context.

1. Fruits Ripened and Dipped in Fire - This imagery symbolizes the transformation processes; ripe fruits suggest maturation and readiness, while being "dipped in fire" could represent cooking or the refinement of raw ingredients into something more complex and palatable. Philosophically, it speaks to the idea of transformation and growth through challenges or the refinement of the self or ideas through rigorous testing or passion.

2. Tested by the Earth - This line symbolizes the importance of natural, organic processes in cultivating wisdom or sustenance. In a culinary context, it highlights the value of ingredients that have been nourished and tested by natural forces, hinting at a farm-to-table philosophy that respects the natural cycle of growth and decay.

3. All Must Wind and Curl Inward Like Snakes - This imagery is a call to introspection and the internal journey that true knowledge, much like the spiral motion of a snake, comes from turning inward. In a culinary sense, it speaks to the importance of core principles or ingredients and that dishes should focus on fundamental flavors or techniques that are central to their identity.

4. Prophetic, Dreaming upon the Hills of Heaven - This poetic line elevates the culinary act to a spiritual or visionary plane that cooking or the creation of food is not just a mundane task but a form of dreaming or prophecy that aspires to achieve a heavenly or ideal state. It speaks to the creative and almost divine aspect of culinary arts where the chef or cook is a visionary, imagining and then creating dishes that transcend ordinary experience.

5. With Much Held on Hunches - This emphasizes the intuitive aspect of culinary practices, where much is based on instincts or "hunches" rather than strict formulas or rules. It highlights the esoteric nature of culinary wisdom, which often relies on unspoken understandings, feelings, or traditions passed down through generations, rather than purely scientific or rational approaches.

The act of cooking and the appreciation of food is deeply connected to cycles of nature, personal growth, creativity, and intuitive understanding. The culinary practices can be a path to wisdom, transformation, and even a connection with the divine.

In the end, it was endless meetings, corporate pressure, profit goals. It was nowhere near as exotic at the dinner table. When you're young, every part of life seems big and monumental. Once older, you can see it for what it is: smaller pieces of a larger game you have no choice but to play.

How kinky is a man’s musk to you? How ripe is too ripe?

i think its hard to describe.

i think it depends on the man and the situation. if im horny....and the man is like Eli 🤭🤭like working outside, sweaty, but clean then it's really hot

if a man is just dirty than hell no 🚫

ripe because its alabama and 110 degrees is one thing

ripe because you dont wash yourself is a no no
