For the Love of Food Talk (Food Know-It-All)

When I started this series, someone asked, "Why did you call it, Food Know-It-All"?. Some of the topics covered, like food deserts & food assistance are not fun, not even to me. I simply just thought I was being quirky about educating my readers about the topics that were researched. And as usual, my thoughts took over after answering the question. Guess What? We all have a little Food Know-It-All in us.

As a 30+-year-old, I have more conversations with my family & friends about food than gossip. We call each other to discuss recipes. We are asking for personal reviews about brunch spots. My Facebook feed(my SoMe for my offline life LoL) is full of my FBF talking about the meals that are made.

"Ooh, that sounds good."

"I might make that, Sunday"

It sparks conversations. It gives someone else ideas.

And some people like posting food pictures. (Remind me to discuss the overuse of the word, porn) I know I do. I like posting a nice looking and/or tasting plate or drink.

Also, there is a tinge of loving pride in what we make and eat. There is nothing wrong with talking about & showing it off sometimes. My mind & palate has been whetted by images all over the internet.

Oh, we All have a little food critic in us, also. We Know What We Like. Our tastebuds are our measurement tools. My Twitter timeline is full of fun controversial food opinions and conversations.

A podcaster I listen to dislikes certain cakes. The German Chocolate tweet got side eyes from me. LoL, Hawaiian Pizza almost started a Twivil War. I don't eat it. And I shot a bullet or two. Oh, & I couldn't care less about sugar or salt on grits. Grits Are Nasty!!! (Comment box is open) Everybody is an expert of their opinion.

So, let's all embrace our inner Food Know-It-All. Reading an article about one restaurant buying another, be a Food Know-It-All. Still taking pictures of a pretty drink, snap away from you Food Know-It-All. Made an adjustment to a recipe that might help others, share that change, Food Know-It-All.
