In much the same way that I was disappointed when I learned that "metrosexual" just referred to heterosexual consumerist gym rats rather than, for instance, bears, I'm disappointed that "foodie" has become synonymous with sycophants who couldn't distinguish Velveeta from sheep's milk gouda if it were presented by someone with enough celebrity.

Genuine connoisseurship always gets degraded by the teeming masses into something unrecognizable as its former self.

Yes, the antonym for metrosexual is hobosexual.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
