foodie
A foodie is a person who has an ardent or refined interest in food and alcoholic beverages. A foodie seeks new food experiences as a hobby rather than simply eating out of convenience or hunger.
== Earliest uses of the word ==
The "foodie" -- not as elitist as a gourmet, more discriminating than a glutton -- was first named in print in the early 1980s. The term came into use almost simultaneously in the United States and Britain. Priority goes to Gael Greene, who, in June 1980, wrote in ''New York Magazine'' of a character who "slips into the small Art Deco dining room of Restaurant d'Olympe ... to graze cheeks with her devotees, serious foodies."〔G. Greene in ''New York Magazine'' (2 June 1980); ''Oxford English Dictionary'' at "foodie"〕 Immediately afterwards the foodie was defined in the British press. Ann Barr, features editor of the London magazine ''Harper's & Queen'', had asked readers to comment on a then-new obsession with food. Several readers' responses named Paul Levy, food writer on the same magazine, as the perfect example. Levy played along,〔Paul Levy, "(What is a foodie? )" in ''The Guardian'' (14 June 2007)〕 contributing an anonymous article in August 1982, defining the term ("Foodies are foodist. They dislike and despise all non-foodies")〔V. Woods () in ''Harpers & Queen'' (August 1982); ''Oxford English Dictionary'' at "foodie"〕 and characterizing himself as the "ghastly, his-stomach-is-bigger-than-his-eyes, original, appetite-unsuppressed, lip-smacking 'king foodie'".〔 The word gained currency rapidly, partly because Barr and Levy followed up with a book, ''The Official Foodie Handbook'', published in 1984.〔Ann Barr and Paul Levy, ''The Official Foodie Handbook''. London: Ebury Press, 1984. ISBN 0 85223 348 5〕
