According to Wikipedia: Foodies differ from gourmets in that gourmets are epicures of refined taste who may or may not be professionals in the food industry, whereas foodies are amateurs who simply love food for consumption, study, preparation, and news. Gourmets simply want to eat the best food, whereas foodies want to learn everything about food, both the best and the ordinary, and about the science, industry, and personalities surrounding food.

I'm def. a foodie then! Oh yum I love asparagus too!
Love this, great post. The Diary of a Foodie show is great.
Sabina...I started watching an episode of Diary of a Foodie and it looks good. I haven't heard of this show. I don't think I fall into either of your categories. I like peasant food best!
Is that BRIE I see? I am becoming a LITE BRIE (!) fanatic.
Bought one wheel and I am hooked.
Maybe I'll go regular Brie this week!
: )
Hi Cindy and cute little Chloe - this is actually goat cheese but give me some delicious brie anyday!! I've never had lite. I'll have to give it a try.
lol Rosemary - I like peasant food too!!
I'm a gourmet, who knew! And thank goodness because I don't care for the word "foodie" very much. Very interesting post.
