>'Being a foodie isn’t about liking to eat, foodie is about enjoying different cuisines and having a discerning taste."

Discerning taste? In other words conspicuous consumption. Foodies seek out whatever the hype is.

It's always interesting to me how self-described foodies seems to know very little about actual food. Ask a foodie to name their favorite recipes, about braising vs poaching, making a pan sauce, when blueberries are in season and they will likely not have much to say. Being a "foodie" is just a byword for consumerism. It's neither a skill or a hobby. It's just eating out.
