Things Foodies Say

"Honey can you stop and get a new jar of Yellow Asafetida I ran out last night?"

 

I was gonna do this on twitter but I figured Id do it here and get more fun and responses...

"Well, you know, which salt you use depends on the dish."

[Kerry Beal]

"When all you have is a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail" - Anna N to me every time I get a new kitchen toy. 

[Smithy]

"How do you want your egg?"

"Soft-boiled is fine."

"OK. 62, 63 or 64C?"

[sparrowgrass]

No, thanks.  Those are not free range eggs.

On a food show I was watching, they asked a customer about the dish she was eating and she looked off into the distance and said "this dish tastes like calm and peacefulness". That did it for me. If that's part of Things Foodies Say, I'm out.

"This is not worth the calories" is something my possibly annoying friends and I say - if it does not taste great - nope

[Porthos]

"What choices do you have in finishing salts?"

[Okanagancook]

Me after a lot of mis en place to DH

"Let's have a cocktail"

"What would you like?"

"I do the forking food, can't YOU decide on the cocktail, sheesh!"

Surely how the meal is "plated for service" is the host's responsibility. 

[Beebs]

"Your cookbook shelf collapsed...."

[Anna N]

"Here, try this. Tell me what it is."

[dcarch]

"Are you serious? You want your steak medium and your egg yolk not runny? And BTW, my pasta is not uncooked. It's al dente!!!"

I was thinking more along the lines of home cooking. It is something I say to Deb half in jest and half out of habit. It originated from a table next to us on a cruise ship years ago when they announced to the server that they were foodies and then brow beat her about each presentation at length before ordering. This was followed up by their critique when it arrived.

"I'm building layers of flavor." 

[scubadoo97]

What's for dinner?   I don't know just yet  Let's see what I have to work with.

[Ashen]

" Ramen burgers are so 3 years ago"   " Is your avocado oil first cold pressed organic?" 

[cyalexa]

"I don't need a recipe."

[Tere]

Well, sometimes you don't

After college, for several years I shared an apartment with a friend who believed in this. Some of the worst meals I have ever experienced.

"Where's the beef from?"

 

This might be limited to foodies under 40 . . . .

[Deryn]

When looking at a Mickey D's burger, I just say .. 'where's the beef?' (but then I am in the over 40 crowd).
