hat or who is a foodie? That’s the question today. I know this question has been troubling most of you openly or secretly, but today I’m prepared to give you an answer because I am generous, and I care, yes I do care a lot, believe you me.

Ok now here we go, first we cannot talk about a foodie without associating it with food. How is food involved here? Just relax, I got you! Let’s all agree that we cannot do without food, not even surviving! This is so basic and it describes life to the greatest extent. Did you know that you need energy to do everything in your daily life? I know you know. But this is the most interesting part; you need energy to eat too. And this energy comes from food.

Having said that, let me now fulfill my promise. What/who is a foodie? I framed this question this way consciously to confuse you a little, but on a light not though, no pun intended.
A FOODIE is anyone, who has a very keen engrossment in eating or cooking, or food In general. Got me? Right. In other terms, a foodie is a person who takes anything to do with food so serious.  Are you one of them…?  You’ll be able to answer this in a few.

Not everyone that eats or cooks qualifies as foodie, no. A foodie is much deeper. Allow me just say, if you are a foodie, I strongly recommend that you start your gym classes, if you’re yet to. This is the reason for that: More a times eating brings about unintended weight gain, which is a risky endeavor, as your health specialist can advise.

Now to help you break this down even further, especially if you’re unable to classify yourself as a foodie or not, here are a few tips…

THINGS TO CONTEMPLATE BEFORE RULING YOURSELF AS A FOODIE OR NOT

Here are some of the points I have collated to shed more light on this subject.

A FOODIE ALWAYS KNOWS THE LOCAL RESTAURANTS IN AND OUT

A foodie is fully aware of all the local restaurants and food outlets, and is the most fit in giving recommendations. They always know the options on their menu and even prices.

QUICK TIP: If you only order for one item on the menu in restaurant, you don’t qualify to be called a foodie!

A FOODIE CAN TELL OF THE INGREDIENTS OF A LOCAL RESTAURANT

Funny, isn’t it? Ok, this is very true. A foodie can tell to you the ingredients a local restaurant uses to realize the menu. The deep concern in food always sends them to investigate this, and get their answers from either the client directly, or private research.

QUICK TIP: If you order for an item in the menu and do not know what taste to expect, you’re just a partial foodie if you’re one!

A FOODIE IS ALL AWARE OF FOODS TO KEEP FRESH

Yeah, this sound a bit more obvious, but it is not! Most people are not informed of what to keep fresh, and if at all they do keep them fresh, is by sheer luck, not actual knowledge. A foodie now is best at this.

They know precisely how each food item should be kept or preserved, they just do not like wastage.

QUICK TIP: Are chips/salsa made daily? If you do not have an answer to this, you’re yet to be fully a foodie.

A FOODIE NEEDS ONLY THE WAITER TO SERVE THEM

Typically for a foodie, the chief and sole purpose of the waiter is to serve them. They do not need an explanation whatsoever over the severed item, they are already well conversant of it, and know exactly what to expect.

QUICK TIP: If after you receive your order you hold the waiter hostage with numerous questions, you’re either a failed foodie, or just a wannabe!

A FOODIE’S LIST HAS AT LEAST FIVE OPTIONS OF THE BEST

A foodie is always armed with a good list of what they call “my favorite”. There is always a substitute for every food they like, and that can make the list long enough to make the menu of a standard restaurant! Yeah, that’s how serious it can be. And even more serious they have crammed this list; it’s not even a reference!

QUICK TIP: If you have walked out of a restaurant because your two options are not on them menu or are not ready yet, you’re yet to be foodie.

There you have it! This is helping, I really hope so. Now you’re fully aware of what/who a foodie is, in detail. If you have been confusing anything before, that’s a done deal now. I dived so deep into this, just for you. And just to be clear, I’m not a foodie, but I do like eating a lot. I’m a bad chef, I just do not like any bit of cooking, and the furthest I enjoy is warming water. What about you…? Well, that’s enough for today, let me catch you next time, bye for now.
