Snobs thread spinoff: how far does your snobbery reach?

I was reading through the NOMA thread and looking at the food pictures and thinking "That's cool and all, but I'd rather have my grandmother's snap beans and cornbread and pot roast over that stuff." I guess I just prefer comfort foods over these exotic dishes.
This seems to completely contradict my opinions on beer. I am an admitted, proud, card-carrying beer snob. If good craft beer is not available, I will not drink beer 99% of the time. I simply refuse to acknowledge and accept shitty mass produced swill
Are there any of your preferences, biases and snobby opinions that contradict your opinions on other subjects?

I feel like I can snob out with the best of them, but then again I can also slum it at Taco Bell and be completely happy.
But I'm with you on beer. I don't drink BMC. It's against my morals.

I am, without a doubt, far snobbier when it comes to beer than with food, wine, or liquor.
I still prefer to eat local and avoid chains, but I'm nowhere near the foodie that some are.

I'll drink High Life and eat Taco Bell, but I prefer the finer things.

I don't eat unhealthy, processed foods because I prefer to eat healthfully. So I don't really consider it snobbery.
But to answer the question, I won't go out to dinner with someone that has bad table manners, ie someone chewing with their mouth open, eating off other's plates, sqawbling over the division of the check after the meal, etc.

About the only "snob" thing I could be accused of is staying out of Wal Mart and Lowes at all costs.

I just think the word snob is used way too often in regards to food and drinking.
Kind of how so many want to label everyone and everything as being hipster if it doesn't fit a certain profile

I am without a doubt a snob.
It's my money that I earned through work (or was given by the government), and I will gladly give it up for higher quality ingredients and to support locals.

I don't drink BMC beer. Mainly on account of it's a mythical product. I'll drink the shite out of Bud light though. As for food I just eat what I feel like eating.

I see this thread has been lunch boxed, but I will answer OP anyway...
I don't consider myself a snob, but I do enjoy the finer things. I live in a place with great local restaurants (a good bit of people say the best in the south) and I really enjoy supporting them. I can't remember the last time I ate at a chain. They don't even come up as suggestions between my group of friends.
Alcohol wise, same deal. I love craft beer and good liquor. However, I have absolutely no problem drinking light beer when I want to get shitty, especially when it's late night at a bar.
I don't look down on anyone buying lower quality stuff. That's their deal. The premium is far and away worth my money, though.

Food, about as snobby as snobby can get.
Alcohol, not close to same level. My favorite beer is cold and free.
