Food photography is enjoyable, drooling while setting up is quite common.
A foodie is a person who has an ardent or refined interest in food and alcoholic beverages, often treating eating as a hobby rather than just a necessity. They are characterized by a deep passion for food culture, a curiosity about ingredients, cooking techniques, and the origins of dishes, and a willingness to explore diverse and sometimes exotic cuisines. Foodies often plan their social activities and even vacations around food experiences, whether it's visiting a new restaurant, attending a food festival, or trying street food. While the term is sometimes used to describe someone with a refined palate, it is generally less elitist than "gourmet" and more focused on discovery and enjoyment than on exclusivity or high cost.
