We all have one person in our lives who doesn’t joke with food, they are always particular about how well the food is made, they know when there is an excess of salt or spice they would tell you about the texture of the swallow, etc. I know someone that the mom wouldn’t allow her to dish the food when she visits home for the safety of the meat in the pot.

Breaking your fast before time

This is the period where most Christians are usually fasting. If you’re starting to feel anxious and the idea of a fast seems to scare  you, then you might just be a foodie.

Meeting the ushers for food

 At that last wedding party you attended, you observed that the waiters weren’t bringing food to your table or they brought food but it wasn’t what you wanted.

You stood up and 5 minutes later, you returned, heralded by a train of waiters carrying multiple plates and assorted food and everyone hailed you, “Chairman!” Somewhere in your mind, you ought to realize that you love food!

Your Gallery/Social media feed shows food

Have you scanned your gallery at a glance and discovered you have more food (related) pictures than actual photos of people or have you looked at your socials and all you can see any time you scroll through is one local or international chef whipping up a new recipe? Unlike most people, you try to replicate the meal and it seems you are really good at it too. Just place your right hand on your chest and say out loud 🔊 “ I am a foodie.”

You cook beyond the cook book
