What does it mean to be a foodie? Does it mean you enjoy cooking or the taste of certain dishes? Not exactly. To me, a foodie is a person who eats, lives, and breathes food. Now, that's my obsession with food.
Since my childhood, I used to see my mom cook all kinds of dishes at home. No matter how much spices or other ingredients she put in her recipes, it was her love and affection that made the dish taste absolutely delicious. I have never been able to cook but I did figure out that every dish that is cooked and/or prepared requires a lot of effort and everyone who cooks loves being appreciated for his efforts. So, this started my likeness for eating and trying out different cuisines. My passion for traveling is very nicely complimented by my inclination towards eating something new and tasty every time (and not to forget, appreciating whatever I eat every time!). So, this is how my obsession for food developed.
Whenever I'm traveling to new places (or even when I'm not traveling), I make it a point to try out the popular local places to eat. I am a foodie and whenever I get time (even if I don't get time, I make time), I like visiting my favourite eateries in Mumbai or at times even trying out new places. Most people 'eat to live' but 'I live to eat'. I call myself a foodie who can't cook but can certainly enjoy what others cook.
My favourite cuisine: Indian (North Indian and Mughlai)
My favourite dish: Butter Chicken Gravy
