re: What brings out your inner food snob?

I don't have an inner food snob.

I hate outer food snobs.

If I have to pick something, it's people who live in New Orleans and eat at places like Red Lobster, Chilis, Olive Garden, Applebees, etc. and say "it's good".

I never ever go to these shitholes unless I am forced due to a family or friend obligation.

I'd rather just grab Popeye's or Wendy's if we're not going to an actual real restaurant.

Without a doubt the clear #1 is people who dont want to try new foods. I will ask someone to try something or cook something and they say they dont like that food. I ask them if they have ever had it and they say no.

Makes absolutely no sense.

Yes you piss me off bc you only eat pizza and chicken fingers. You're not 6, grow up.

Jokes and jokes and jokes

I enjoy both creole and Cajun foods, but give me Cajun style gumbo and jamb every time.

Got a buddy who marinates his really good steaks and won't marinate chicken at all. Like, he'll marinate filet mignon. I can't wrap my head around it.

I have no idea if I am a food snob or not.

I haven't had Reuinte Lambrusco in over 40 years, so maybe I am.

However, if I may support the little (common) man among us - you could throw a pretty good drunk on it as I recall.

A. Lincoln said "God must have loved the common man, because he made so many of them."

close mindedness and picky eaters. it's crazy how some of my friends eat that are 30+. Wont even try some things that most people enjoy, and it's hard to get them to come out and eat a good meal at a restaurant

This is my biggest thing too.

There are all kinds of things I'll think on the inside. Mom will call me to tell me she made a recipe I gave her, and then she'll make an entire list of shortcuts and substitutions she made. Some are okay, but some are buying a bunch of "fat free" versions of stuff.. or using the complete wrong product (she'll buy packaged boneless short ribs when the entire flavor comes from the bones).

But I can look beyond all of that easy enough. It's when people make faces and act like children about food. ESPECIALLY when someone has the nerve to tell me that what I'm eating is "icky". Even if I think something wouldn't be good, I'm not looking at someone's plate and telling them that.

Louisiana cooking here in TX.


I really can't help myself. In 11 years I've found one good boiled crawfish location. No good gumbo. No good jambalaya. Specialty meats are either very forgettable or just plain absent from any of the grocery stores.

Drives. Me. Nuts!

The only good cajun/creole food I eat is in my own house...and i really wish that wasn't the case.

well I was pretty twisted

I wasn't fully serious. I just grew up with creole cooking that my grandma learned from her nanny as a kid.

Oh and anytime someone uses the word "creole or Cajun" in a menu description.

Ketchup on a proper burger

People who don't know shite about cooking/food and who have picky tastes trying to be a food snob.

My mom and her "cooking". We butt heads a lot over general philosophy bc she is not a good cook.
