Foodie is a term that we throw around a lot here at Slashfood. The dictionary defines a foodie as "someone who has an ardent or
refined interest in food." In previous decades, words like "epicure" or "gourmet" were
used to apply to the same type of person. The words are out of favor now, and bring to mind stodgy, snobbish
people who are only willing to consider a restaurant that has truffled pate on the menu. This is because good food was
hard to get and expensive in years, decades and centuries past. People didn't have the resources to buy virtually
anything they could want and often wouldn't have the means to cook it. Now, both times and terms have changed.
