Before you call yourself a foodie, it is important to know what it takes to be qualified as a foodie. Sorry to burst your bubble, yet eating and liking a particular dish does not make you a foodie. It takes much more than that. Have a look at the list of things that are required to qualify as a foodie.

1. You like to hoard menus from different restaurants and keep them safe in a drawer right next to your bed.

2. You spend your time drooling over recipe videos and tagging your foodie friends on those videos. Not to forget the #FoodPorn pictures. Oh God!

3. You enjoy watching foreign cooking shows. Well, because the way they present their foodis simply OUT OF THIS WORLD!

4. You can even travel long distance to eat at your favorite dining place.

5. Your salary is usually spent on food. Almost 98% of it. And you have no regrets spending it all on food.

6. You love food photography! Your instagram is filled with amazing, drool-worthy pictures of food.

7. You speak your own ‘food’ language. You can go on and on and never stop.

8. You know how to take full advantage at a buffet and really know how to stuff yourself up! You sure have the skills.

9. Even your ‘anda paratha’ or your ‘daal chaawal’ have to look good on the plate.

10. You join all the different foodie groups on Facebook and you try to interact with all the other foodie members.

11. You are aware of all the hottest places and hottest deals in town!

12. You don’t care about gaining a single pound. You live to EAT. Only to EAT.

So are you a foodie? Some people live to eat, while others eat to live.. which one are you?
