I don't doubt that some (or even the majority?) think they know more than chefs and have higher expectations. But there are also those who look forward to *learning* from and talking to chefs rather than assuming they know everything. <br /><br />To me, a foodie can be a carnivore, omnivore, vegetarian, vegan, or even a raw foodist, and it doesn't matter whether he eats at expensive restaurants in NYC or buys $3 meals from street vendors in Bangkok. It's his interest in food that matters. But everyone probably has their own definition.Ericahttp://www.travelblissful.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024398511254172770.post-39554601052613328322009-06-17T11:39:17.727+04:002009-06-17T11:39:17.727+04:00Hi all - thanks for your comments.

Apologies for taking so long to acknowledge but we've been on the road with little time for blogging.<br /><br />Hi Grace - I will do a post on the Biennale as soon as I have a chance and fill you in.<br /><br />Hello Sandy - we too have mixed feelings about the Biennale, so will be interesting to see whether they're in tune! I'm going to pass on the veg food challenge to Terry!<br /><br />Hi Jessie - no, this isn't a vacation, I'm afraid. Still work - and a lot of it - but, hey, that's what we get paid to do.<br /><br />Hello Tina - I'm feeling more exhausted than inspired at the moment... but, it has its moments, both fantastic and frightful.<br /><br />Hi Amanda - thank you! I will!<br /><br />Hey there Tammie - okay, I promise!<br /><br />Hello Erica - I do agree with Terry on his views on the idea of "foodies" and it's interesting that you raised that as we had a couple of revealing conversations with chefs recently on the subject, and the added expectations and demands that now come from "foodies" who are consumed by cooking shows and food blogs and now think they know more than chefs. I'm going to let Terry (more of an expert than I am on the subject) write about that.<br /><br />Hi Harry - thanks so much for the words of encouragement. Much appreciated.<br /><br />Hello there Anne - you think you're exhausted! Ugh.<br /><br />Thanks there, Tourism!Lara Dunstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568159382939703162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024398511254172770.post-28794273927940194892009-06-16T23:04:00.061+04:002009-06-16T23:04:00.061+04:00wonderfullwonderfulltourismhttp://tourism-travel-hotels.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024398511254172770.post-61744597190700934912009-06-11T16:16:57.903+04:002009-06-11T16:16:57.903+04:00just reading this exhausted me, laura!

What a diverse set of destinations! Looking forward to hear more from you.<br /><br /><br />Like Dr Sandy, I hope you can include some vegetarian stuff when/if you do more food writing. By the way, that reminds me of something I read over at Terry's blog. A while back he wrote that he hates the term 'foodie', which I found a bit difficult to understand. What's your view on that? Do you dislike the term as well?Ericahttp://www.travelblissful.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024398511254172770.post-64342086468710737162009-06-10T17:48:59.944+04:002009-06-10T17:48:59.944+04:00Lara, Yea, you're right -- we don't really...Lara, Yea, you're right -- we don't really want to hear it.
