Can food become a new popular hobby? The answer is "yes"! Being a foodie has become very popular in Britain in recent years. Foodies not only eat food, but they try to prepare it at home. Foodies aren't trained as professional chefs, but they do know a lot about cooking techniques and food trends.
So what do foodies do? First, they try new, often exotic dishes at the restaurants. They are aware of international cuisines, unusual ingredients and spice combinations. If you go out with a foodie, don't worry about not understanding a menu! A foodie will break down for you what "sous-vide" or a "vongole" mean. Second, they learn cooking techniques, perfect their knife skills and learn about mixing tastes and flavours. They try following recipes at home, even though sometimes they fail.
Nowadays, being a foodie doesn't only mean that you eat and cook exotic food. Food-lovers have created a community where they share their ideas about reducing food waste and making day-to-day cooking more budget-friendly. Being a foodie also means supporting local farms and food companies. With ecology being a widely discussed issue all over the world, foodies also stand for using less packaging for products.
