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!
Americans tend to have this belief that flavors must "pop" in order to enjoy them. However, that doesn't mean that subtle flavors aren't good by themselves. They can complement a bold dish rather well.
...For instance, the oatmeal goes well with bread and caviar, the fish goes well with a sort of wild mushroom, steamed crunchy veggies go well with a juicy steak, and chicken bullion washes down a great spicy salad.
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.
Thank you. Or, rather, merci.
Just don't get me started on the smoking.

Yes, you should take a cooking class, if only because expecting a woman to cook for you is so 1953. This way, you might meet someone who would like to cook with you.

Hopefully, he is not expecting a woman to cook like Julia Child! I actually took a class from a Cordon Bleu chef and we exactly recreated her signature boeuf bourguignon recipe, which was a heck of a lot of work and probably the best thing I've ever tasted. And of course it was loaded with flavorful fat, which is why I eat in moderation. Boy do I LOVE French food though.

Oh, don't even get me started, I met women who wanted to sit back and relax while I cooked for them.
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
It would probably have to be organic peanut butter with local honey on artisanal flatbread, though. No Skippy and Wonder Bread for a real foodie, you know.

Seems like you are doing a bit of stereotyping in this thread.
