Semantics Aside, A Foodie Is Still A Snob

Bored last night and unable to sleep as I sat awake listening to my stomach rumble, I came across this post on Slashfood regarding the proper definition of a foodie.

While I wasn't too smitten with the regular epicurian vernacular the blogger took license with in her foodophile talk, the back-and-forth of commenters on the post was most entertaining.

The Let's Call a Ham A Ham Award goes to Alps:

when presented with a choice between a filet and great piece of pizza, a snob will eat the nasty over cooked peice of fillet but a foodie would eat a nice tasty cheesy peice of pizza over that nasty fillet

Punctuation and spelling aside, he/she/it makes a good point.

The I'm In Denial About My Narcissism Award goes to L.:

I`ve never thought "foodie" meant "gourmet" — I mean, why not just say, "gourmet," if that`s what you mean? When I call myself a "foodie," it just means, as you say, that I am interested in food — all kinds of food.Some "foodies" are "food snobs," but not all of us!

And last but certainly not least, the chick most likely to be slovenly and overweight by the ripe old age of 35:

My boyfriend accused of being a "foodie" and I denied it all along. Just because I talk about food, like to eat it, watch it, smell it, and daydream about it makes me a foodie??? However, I have come to terms to admit that I am guilty as charged… "Hello, my name is Jennifer and I'm a foodoholic. Please welcome your newest, baddest, and unrepented member to this muther effin' town! =) xoxo
