Ten Types of Foodies

[alkapal]

This was a cute piece I just saw on the Top Ten Types of Foodies and the Remedy to each one. http://ecosalon.com/foodie-undergroun...

Confessing, I am a 1,3 - tho I don't know nearly anything about wine except I like it, so please feel free to gift it. Also a little bit of 5 (tho I try really hard to keep it hidden), and I can cook up a storm, which is where my right to snobbery comes from:)

Good share alkapal!

[gourmaniac]

I take it as a bad sign that I immediately recognized the Blue chip truck in front of Toronto City Hall. I guess I'm a #6.

[John E.]

Is it possible to frequent Chow and consider oneself to be a 'Chowhound' without being a 'Foodie'? I really could not identify with any of the points made in the article except for possibly #6.

1 and 10 here. Fun read, thank you for sharing!!

[FoodChic]

Love this. Thanks so much for sharing.

I have to admit I'm a lot of 1,2,3 and a touch of 5. But I'm a 3 that loves wine gifts, and a 5 that can cook!

[FoodPopulist]

Is there some sort of 6a, the anti-snob who thinks that #6 anti-snobs are really snobs and wants to find good food that 5 and 6 would unite to hate?

[StrandedYankee]

Oh, never doubt that anti-snobs are frequently the worst snobs of all. Think about the punk rock fan who holds in utter contempt any artist who sells a lot of their music. Their snobbery is vast, but different. I have an anti-snob streak that I attempt to keep from getting too out-of-hand because in the end, both snobs and anti-snobs are seriously irritating.

Was that supposed to be funny?

[Chemicalkinetics]

Did you laugh?

[chefathome]

1, 4 and 10 describe me so well it is not even funny (not bragging about #4 - I'm making a conscious effort not to do make these comments aloud). Thanks for this - it was fun! :-) It is also fun to read about how others view themselves.

[drongo]

I'm a 1 and (especially) a 10. I'm really not even close to 2 through 9.

[Pata_Negra]

lol... thanks for the fun link.

i'm #1, 3, 4, 6 and 10.

please explain the Nutella thing. it's very normal where i am (in Europe). don't blog but i like making pics of food and beer more than cooking!

[LulusMom]

We are not a Nutella nation, here in the USA.

[YAYME]

I'm a bit of 1, 5, 6, and 10. I tend to make sauces and some bar supplies DIY and cook everything (Most of it is easy to make). I can't decide if I snob or anti-snob. I'm a snob about some things, others, I'm an anti-snob.

[Miss Needle]

Thanks for the article! I'm probably 1, 6 and 10. I can be 7 at home (the rules fly out the window when I go out to eat). And I don't think I'm 3, but pronounce Nutella in a bit of a Euro way.

[alkapal]

LOL -- as i read the article, i'm actually sounding out in my mind how many variations there might be of the pronunciation of "nutella. "

[LulusMom]

I could only come up with about 2, possibly 3 (and I used to work at the World Bank, so I know from accents!).

[inaplasticcup]

I think myself a combo of 1, 6, 8 and 10.

Fun article. Thanks for sharing, alkapal! :)

[DuchessNukem]

Lol, that was cute. :)

I'm a #10. And my sprouts are fantastic. I will admit to occasional dehydrator fiascoes.

[Chemicalkinetics]

Being honest and objective, I probably belong to type 1, type 10, and type 6.

I like to make foods on my own. In fact, a very major reason for me to eat out is to learn and to see if I can make the same dishes. Basically, eating out help set a bar and an example for me to reach for.

On the other hand, I lean more toward type 6 than type 5. Not so much about food carts, but I love the more down to earth food, like southern barbecue, a nice bowl of Chinese congee, Korean Banchan.... you get the idea.
