yall, have you ever noticed how everyone's a foodie nowadays, but no one can even be bothered to cook a decent meal

are you volunteering to cook for all these 'foodies' or just complaining?

true lol. everyone wants to be a critic but cant even boil an egg. i swear half these "foodies" probably survive on instant ramen

fair play, think the only thing most foodies can cook is a decent instagram story innit

haha, for real! why do people feel the need to post a photo of literally every overpriced avocado toast they eat?

no, i don't think that's fair. just because someone enjoys trying new foods and restaurants doesn't mean they can't cook.

mate, i'm a foodie, i just instagram my pizzas, don't actually make 'em

Probably too busy cooking up business plans to actually cook dinner

totally agree, it feels like 'foodie' has become a buzzword for folks who like trying new restaurants, but actual cooking skills are a rare commodity - we need more recipes being shared online, or cooking classes becoming mainstream!

do you even know how to cook or are you just bitter because you can't instagram your microwaved hot pocket?

fr, it's so true. everyone wants to look like they love food but put zero effort into actually making good food. it's just for the 'gram these days.

fr, these "foodies" dont know what theyre talking about.

ya you betcha, have you ever noticed how folks keep complainin' about everyone else but can't even be bothered to make

this isn't about cooking a decent meal, it's about acknowledging that life is busy and you can still take pride in the

really? and what counts as a "decent meal" in your opinion? maybe some of us are just too busy to slave over a hot stove every night.

decency is subjective, but accessibility and affordability are real issues - what's your response to someone who can barely afford basics, let alone 'decent' ingredients?

sounds like someone's just mad they can't cook

or is everyone just mad they can't make ramen for 99 cents like they could 10 years ago?

um, are we just assuming everyone can cook just because they grew up with their own mom doing it for them

fr tho, why is it so hard for ppl to put in a little effort and actually learn to cook? it's not rocket science, people.

what's wrong with enjoying good food without being a chef? can't a person just like eating tasty stuff?

so true, everyone's a "foodie" until it's time to actually put in the work. it's easy to post about food all day, but if you can't even cook a basic meal, maybe pump the brakes on calling yourself a foodie.

I don't get why people are trashing foodies, some of us actually care about the quality and source of our food and aren't just about taking

yeah because being a foodie is just about eating takeout and calling it a culinary experience

Just because people's definition of "cooking a decent meal" is super high, don't assume everyone's lazy. Some people can cook, they just don't feel pressure to impress anyone with their bachelorette-worthy presentation and carefully curated Instagram photos.

fr tho, i can barely boil water without burning the house down.

yeah that's kinda the vibe i get, are they all still going to restaurants if no one has the time to cook?

yeah that's bc we're all too busy posting pics of our takeout on instagram to actually make anything ourselves.

not true, i know plenty of people who can and do cook amazing meals

but are you even cooking decent meals or are you just complaining about everyone else

fr, it's wild how everyone acts like they're a master chef but can barely manage to boil water.

u think it's a fad, huh? or do u really think ppl have just lost interest in cooking and actual kitchen skills?

do you have a personal chef, or do you just spend your days complaining about others' cooking skills while trying out avocado toast at midtown bistro?

are you kidding me, being a foodie just means you care about the experience and origins of food, not that you're capable of cooking

actually, i've met tons of people who are into cooking and trying new recipes, and it's awesome that there's a shared eniasm for food. not sure what's happening in the bubble you're in, but this whole "no one cooks anymore" thing is just not true.

isn't cooking a decent meal kinda the opposite of being a foodie?

bro, not everyone has the time or energy to cook a 3 course meal every night.

no way, being a foodie doesnt mean you have to cook all the time.

Totally agree! It's like everyone wants to be a food critic. But can't even boil an egg. If they spent half as much time actually cooking as they do posting about it, maybe they'd make something

yeah for real. half these "foodies" probably just order uber eats every night lmao

just because you can order avocado toast from 10 restaurants doesn't make you a chef

same, i'm pretty sure i've seen more bon appetit videos than actual cooking

idk, man, i've met a lot of people who can actually cook just because they take pics for instagram doesn't mean they're fake

wait, you're mad at people for ordering takeout but not the restaurants for raising prices and serving the same 5 things every time?

not everyone has the time or means to cook fancy, that doesn't mean they aren't eating decent meals, donncha know

same, it's all about taking pictures of restaurant food but when it comes to actually cooking at home, it's microwave dinners and takeout.

if you think cooking a real meal is so hard, why do you still have a steady finger-lickin' good

yeah, that's why instagram's filled with screenshots of toast, isn't it

too true, like that 1 time i tried to make a five-course meal and ended up eating cold pizza for

right?! it's like everyone's obsessed with food trends and fancy restaurants, but can't even make a basic pasta dish at home. i swear, i know more people who can name the latest instagram-worthy dessert than can actually bake a cake from scratch.

Are we really that surprised, though? We've traded in home-cooked meals for 5-star restaurants and Spotify playlists.

I've found the inverse correlation to explaining a "NFA" line on the charts.

i know right? everyone's a food critic but they can't even boil water without burning it. i'm waiting for the day when "professional doordash orderer" becomes a job title.

are people who order delivery every night still considered foodies?

ikr? everyone's all "i love food" but they can't even make pasta without burning it. like come on, put in a little effort if you're gonna act like a culinary expert.

same energy with 'wine eniasts' who can't tell a merlot from a moscato

true. and then they have the nerve to yell at people who can actually cook for using

tbh same thing with gamers, everyone's a 'pro' but no one can beat Contra without the konami code

Seems like some people are just 'foodies' on paper - the actual cooking part is just too much effort! 🤣 Guess we can't all be Martha Stewart, huh?

it's called food-for-thought, but i guess that's too much effort too

mate, why is that a problem? if people want to enjoy food.

guess that's what happens when ppl think taking a pic of avocado toast constitutes culinary skills

omg yes, my friend just posted a pic of their avocado toast with hte caption "chef mode activated" and i'm pretty sure they just toasted

yeah, that's why i just order takeout every night. don't wanna put in the effort to cook, but i'll sure as hell critique the hell outta

bruh, maybe some of us are just trying our best out here. not everyone can be a chef, ya know? if you don't like it, just keep scrolling.

same with photographers, everyone's got a fancy camera but all they take are selfies of their avocado toast

same energy as when everyone's a photographer but can't even use manual mode

That's bc we're all secretly筌SPECulating we're on some Michelin-starred chef's plate and fighting over the menu for next Wednesday's entree

dishwasher generation much? maybe people just have more options and choices now than being a slave to a stove for hours

not true, plenty of people can cook just fine

have you considered that people are just finding it harder to afford groceries and can't be

yeah for real. everyone's a "chef" until its time to actually do the dishes.

everyone's a foodie until it comes time to do the dishes

are you implying that everyone who calls themselves a foodie is pretending to be something they're not, or that there's just a general lack of culinary skills?

are you kidding me? there's some amazing cooks out there just because instagram labels them a

Do you really think that not knowing how to cook a meal equates to being a foodie?

tf you mean? cooking is hard and time consuming. all these fast food joints make life easier.

maybe if we spent less time taking pictures of our food and more time actually learning to cook, we'd have better meals to share.

blud i know right? and it's even worse when they put a sad salad in a fancy bowl and call it a

totally agree! it's like everyone wants to be a food critic but no one wants to actually put in the work. i guess it's just easier to post pictures than actually learn how to cook.

nah, that's not it at all. just because someone enjoys food doesn't mean they gotta be a chef.

im so tired of people trashing everyone for being "foodies" like cooking a decent meal is some kind of obligation now.

preach! and it's the same with fitness - everyone's a "gym rat" but can't string together a consistent week of workouts

same energy with "influencers" who only post pictures of things they didnt actually make themselves...

people can do both. Appreciate good food and still cook a great meal. Just because someone calls themselves a foodie doesn't mean they can't chop an onion.

not everyone has the time, skills, or resources to cook all the time, but enjoying food and taking pics of it doesn't mean they're fake foodies

just because i don't post every meal i make doesn't mean i can't cook. some of us prefer to actually enjoy our food instead of just taking pictures of it.

why even bother going out to eat then? just stay home and heat up a can of soup.

idk, people are just bad at cooking, not a commentary on being a foodie.

tf do you mean? cooking's hard work, and people have busy lives. not everyone has time to be a master chef.

don't you think it's kinda contradictory to claim to love food and then constantly order takeout or

same people been eating ramen noodles for every meal but have 1000 likes on their "culinary " post

yup, ppl are more worried about the aesthetic of their instagram food pics than the actual effort that goes into making something edible.

that's because we're all too busy taking pictures of our food to actually eat it!

maybe its because most people dont have the time or energy to cook full meals these days, karen.

it's awesome that people are finally appreciating good food, who cares if they can't cook themselves, the food industry has come a long way

lmao i feel this so much, and it's even more wild when ppl claim they're a foodie but still eat at the same 5

Wouldn't that require, like, actual skill and effort though?

maybe if the food was cheaper and the rent was lower, we'd all have more time to cook gourmet meals, ya know?

tbh, maybe they're just all too busy salivating over food pics to actually cook

same energy as when everyone's a "photographer" but can't even use manual mode
