Default Are you a food and drink snob?

OK, maybe 'snob' is a bit too far. But one thing that gets right on my tits is people (usually quaffing on TV) saying certain drinks must be drank with certain foods. Certain wines "compliment" certain fishes or red wine suits certain meats. Bollocks

If I want white wine and pork scratchings I'll have it. It's just food and drink

I used to be quite snobbish about supermarkets "own brands". And I still am when it comes to Tesco cola or something because it tastes like ****. But other than that the rest of the own brand food is exactly the same (as in all from the same factory) just wrapped in different packaging.

Silly of me to not know but it was only when my auntie was telling me about working in a Jacob's biscuits factory that she was going on about making all the clubs in one place and then just wrapping them up differently. Not to mention I've never eaten another club biscuit since after hearing how they made them. Makes me wanna heave.

No I am not a food and drink snob, if I was at a formal occassion I would do what appeared to be the right etiquette but with meals, I near always drink water anyway.
The wine tasting bit, really makes me want to laugh.

I'm not a food or drink snob, but am a finicky eater and not very adventurous in trying new things. I know nothing about wines and don't drink alcohol anyway so I have no interest in the 'right wine'. I don't take any of the 'experts' on TV seriously, but it's not a bad job. It doesn't matter what they say, we will like and dislike what we want. I'm sure I could eat at the best restaurant in the world and pick fault with the food. That's just me

I don't mind if someone suggests that a certain wine might go better with a particular food. Other than that I'll eat and drink pretty much what I want. I hate it when people say that lamb must be pink and the fat all white and floppy, and steak must be flushed red in the middle. I like my meat cooked so it looks like a hockey puck, and if the chef doesn't like it, then the place I'm eating at is probably a bit pretentious.

You say that like it's a good thing.

Smirnoff is Mickey Mouse vodka. Ask anyone who knows vodka.

Vodkas from the Baltic States are by far the best. Also all around that area

Have you tried Kalashnikov vodka? You can get a bottle in the shape of an AK47.
