My definition of foodie as I was employing it is essentially "one who appreciates food." Believe it or not, not everybody does. There are a lot of people that will eat a bologna sandwich and never appreciate how amazing it is, or conversely there are people that will eat a well-prepared meal and also never appreciate it. Whether I'm drinking a beer or a fine bottle of wine, I try and appreciate its qualities.

I can see where you are coming from though, there are people that use the term tondescribe themselves that I would rather not spend my time with. Food is amazing and it's most amazing when you can share it with others. I wish the #recipe tag on Hubski got more use. I think it's time I start posting some more. Anybody else in?
