Actually I don't think of a "foodie" as being over weight. To me, a foodie is someone who enjoys tasting different kinds of food. They think of food as a kind of art. Like Anthony Bordain is a foodie, but he isn't over weight. There's a difference between someone with a true love of food as an expression of culture and an art form and someone who sits on the couch eating ice cream and Cheetos all night. The second kind of person is a glutton, not a foodie.

Think the girls in high school who played softball and/or field hockey.

As a foodie you'd think he'd like thick women. Just like with my food, there's nothing better than, mmmm... "strong flavors". Just like I like to eat globs of peanut butter straight, to really get that strong unctuous flavor, I like my women like that too, BIG boobs and BIG hips and ass
Think:
I did say I like food from other nationalities though. Meaning I like subtle as well. Subtle meaning steamed veggies, plain oatmeal, fish without spices, chicken soup without the chicken.

I like all sorts of food.

...My aunt, she's a foodie and a slim one at that.
...However she's twice older than me and is married to my uncle...

Glad I'm not a French foodie.

But, I don't eat globs of just peanut butter, I like PB&J, or my once a year PB&J fritter since it's fried with white bread(which is real bad for you, not including the oil!).

I usually just spread it over some crackers most of the time. Great snack anyway. I usually go through a small jar of it every few months.

The French love to use fat to enhance their food. They also like wine, which is believed to be the cause of why their hearts are so healthy.

I don't think you're much of a foodie if this is your idea if what a foodie is!

Man, even your food is boring!! No spices in fish?! No chicken in chicken SOUP!?

We gotta have differing opinions on what foodies are, because plain jane ain't gonna satiate a foodie's palette!

Except salad dressing, which is an abomination since salad dressing ruins the grassy flavor of the salad. I can't stand salad dressing (except with certain exceptions).

Now I subscribe to the French style of cooking and that obviously conflicts with the plain salad and yogurt types, despite with the French actually being healthier than the average American. Also, I like food from about a dozen other nationalities, but that's not the point.


...If I had my way, I'd live in rural France, where both active (and slim) women are fairly common, all while knowing how to cook delicious food.
What's wrong with a woman being enthusiastic about tasty, lower fat items like fish, salads, yogurt (which are also very "French")? A salad nicoise can be very flavorful, healthy and very "gourmet." Are you saying that you want slim women who also live on heavy French sauces, pastries, etc. Having lived in France, I can tell you that even the girls there 1) Watch their weight 2) Avoid heavy fats & sugars 3) Eat smaller portions 2) Cannot cook like Julia Child.

Also, the right gourmet vinegar and extra virgin olive oil flavor combinations can enhance a salad/greens rather than obscure it - much like a good wine brings out the flavors of a meal. I hope you are not using a pre-mixed, preservative-filled salad dressing from a bottle. It is best to make your own or become a frequent shopper at a gourmet oil/vinegar shop.

I also prefer peanut butter. The French love Nutella on bread, but they are peanut-butter phobic for some reason which I never quite figured out.

Actually, good meat doesn't need spices to be delicious. Same with veggies as well... I rarely put any spices or flavorings on the meat we had freshly butchered at my house and the veggies we picked from the garden. They simply didn't need anything additional to make them taste good.

However, chicken soup without chicken is just soup.

And I love peanut butter I don't really consider myself a foodie but even the biggest food snob probably won't turn down a pb&j sandwich on some white bread. It doesn't have to be fancy to be delicious
