See the above image, a foodie will love to see it. For a foodie like me, happiness is food. You go anywhere around the world there is so much to explore, in terms of food that you enter a whole new world of happiness all together. There is so much online support available for foodies. You can order your favourite food just by few clicks and it’s delivered in minutes at your doorsteps. These food delivery partners have encouraged more and more outlets to open and start their food business, even home made food is being also delivered by them. What a revolution!

Everyone loves food, for sure, being a foodie. Some love home cooked food, others may be street food. It all depends upon our taste buds. We all enjoy eating at a trending resturant isn’t it. We eat food to stay healthy but a foodie eats to stay happy, to enjoy each and every bite and to try every new food joint or resturant nearby. Food is oxygen for foodie. As I belong to India. We have so many variety of food to offer. Each state in India has its signature dish. We are diverse in culture and so much to explore.

My personal favourite is South Indian and North Indian food if we talk about India. I am still on a journey to explore the world food. As when we visit abroad we opt for Indian food only, but you don’t do this mistake while travelling abroad. A foodie should try each and everything. I missed ‘fondue’. Being a foodie, is like, you travel and side by side exploring that place’s famous delicacies. If you love travelling, you automatically become foodie, as you are away from home and there is only option, and good one, is to try food from where you pass by, eat where you stay.

In my earlier blog I wrote about food, and try to give importance to home cooked food. And yes, again I will say home cooked food is the best. You can try receipes at home with hygienic ingredients. We are now more knowledgeable about being vegan or follow keto diet but our traditional, local and seasonal food is sustainable as suggested by Rujuta Diwekar.

We should try to improve our taste buds and create liking for healthy food too. When we over indulge in outside food, to detox what we do is eat light food. Make it a routine for lifetime. Our body is a machine, for the well being of each part of our body we must provide proper nutrition. And a foodie don’t think while enjoying their food. There is no harm in being a foodie but if you are a food vlogger or food blogger then so many people may be following you, you can transform people’s idea of food by giving them direction or good advice instead of daily making a vlog on street food vendors.

Some foodies have sweet tooth and love sugary food more than anything. People also like spicy food. Everything is catered, to satisfy different taste buds. The vlogs informing about new food joint nearby, advertise their food for which may be they are paid or just to win followers should be ignored. Always experiment with different outlets by your own, never go blindly by watching just a vlog.
