Maybe you didn't even realize it at that time, it wasn't until later.Here's mine. It was February 1973. I was 5 and 1/2 years old.
I'd stolen the entire basket of corn bread from the dinner table and slunk off to the den, where I sat on the magazine rack and proceeded to begin eating said corn bread. In the picture I am wearing the devil suit that was part of my Halloween costume in 1972 and some bad ass sunglasses.So. When DID you first realize that you were a foodie?
awww you were sooo cute!! ... what happened? HAHA
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the devil suit was very appropriate. :) I always liked food, but when I was on my own at around the age of 35, I started cooking just for the joy of it all, and learned how much fun it is to experiment.
ReplyDeleteLOL....cornbread...mmmmm. I didn't realize I was a foodie until I was in my early 20's (although I think I was born one). I use to give cooking lessons to my dogs (who were very attentive students), while doing my best Julia Child impression.
ReplyDeleteToo cute.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 7 or 8, I would look out the kitchen window while doing dishes and I would pretend I had a cooking show. This is back in 77-78 and there weren't many on tv. I would talk about the recipe and how I would prepare it. It's funny to look back on that now but I truly loved talking about food, eating food and preparing food even then.
Awesome picture - you have access to the best photo/memories!
ReplyDeleteI don't know when for sure. I think when my parents would get frustrated when I wanted to know the dinner schedual for the week (but my parents rarely plan past the day of for dinner). As for wings, when I was young, that's for sure.
I just heard the stories of my foodie adventures at that age, they never caught me in action on film.
ReplyDeleteI was 19; I had my first avocado, EVER, and I knew that all was lost...
ReplyDeleteOh how funny. I'm sure you are still one badd ass dude!
ReplyDeletea Big Green Egg buddy fwded me your blog. great stuff.
ReplyDeletei'd say i've been a foodie for consumption since high school, but didn't actually start cooking as a foodie until entering the workforce (gah, if only someone warned me there was a better use of all that free time in college, than the library/homework!)
I started simple cooking in my teens, but after I got married I found out my wife wasn't interested(or very good at it!) in cooking... I started cooking as a way to relax after day's work. Over the years I've added more dishes to my menus, and also have gathered over 250 cook books!
ReplyDeleteI realized when I was about 15. I was in Greece and was blown away by an octopus sald. None of the other kids would touch it, but it was a revelation to me! GREG
ReplyDeletePS I think we grew up in the same house becase that brick wall with book case looks mighty familiar!
when i was 1 day old
ReplyDeleteTHAT is adorable! And I think I realized I was a Foodie when I began to think my food was better than any restaurant.
