Do Know The Difference Between A Foodie And An Eatie? What We Discovered May Surprise You!

Have you seen people that take pictures of their food or people that just know a food would be bad before they even tried it? Then you probably have met a foodie and an eatie before. There are two very different people who feel very differently about food. When you know the difference, you will understand why you should never call them by the wrong name.

The Difference Between A Foodie And An Eatie Is:

Foodies never paint a realistic picture of non-foodies

They regard the non-foodie as barely human, a grub-worm shaped mass of emotionless flesh who can never grasp the importance of an extra dash of a certain spice, or the added flavor that cooking meat a certain way provides.

To foodies, all non-foodies exist to ruin potentially great resources. Maybe that’s why they Instagram so many pictures of food. They want a record of it when all of the food is lost, devoured by callous non-foodies in their violent quest for simple sustenance.

Foodies fear you’re enjoying food the wrong way

If you find yourself invited to dinner by a foodie, unless you are ready and willing to agree with everything they say and absorb every bit of “knowledge” that they leak out, they will assume that they are doing you a favor. Without the foodie’s help, those friends will go down the wrong path in life — or worse — the wrong aisle in the grocery store.

A foodie will assume that they are providing a warm light in the non-foodie’s cold, cold existence. They will fill up the non-foodie’s belly with tastes that they have never before experienced, and happiness that they’d never dreamt of feeling.

The eatie wants to eat

The eatie can enjoy a great meal just as easily as the foodie can. The biggest difference is that the eatie may not tell anyone about it.

An eatie doesn’t always remain silent

If an eatie finds a restaurant that they like, they recommend the place to others rather than try to keep the hordes from discovering it. An eatie’s taste buds are not worn down from devouring random objects in the name of finding nourishment. They work just as well as a foodie’s.
An eatie allows food to happen
They don’t feel the need to filter everything through the query, “Is this good enough for me, but more importantly, is this good enough for Insta?” They can enjoy things as they are. Eaties will also cook their own food if they decide that they want to, which is another thing that foodies will deny ever happens.

An eatie is not driven on a mission to impress themselves and others with their extensive knowledge of the right and wrong ways to prepare food.

Now you know that foodies and eaties are completely different.
