hey mate!
"The hard food for Midas" refers to the story of Midas and the golden touch.
In this story,
A wealthy king in Greek mythology who desired that all things which he touched should be turned to gold. The request was granted; but as even the food he touched turned into gold, later even as he touched his daughter, she turned to gold. This turned out to be a bane rather than a boon.
Later he implored Dionysus to take his favour back, which the God did.
