Help, I am a food snob

One of my oldest friends claims that it all went wrong during upbringing. “Look, your mother always had Excellent products at home.” Well, that's really true. My mother just loves refined cuisine. Small, luxury bites. And preferably the entire Christmas or Easter table full. And now I’m facing a problem in adult form: I am a food snob. If something is more expensive, then in my mind it is automatically better. It’s disgusting. You too? Take the test.

1. You don’t really look at prices in the supermarket
Which is why you regularly toss those fresh raspberries at four euros per box into your cart and suddenly think at the checkout: hmm, so expensive? How come?

2. In fact: you never bend down in a supermarket
While you know it’s ridiculous to grab the most expensive option at eye level even for things like corn and tomato paste (for Christ’s sake).

3. You buy pre-sliced items
For example onion, mushrooms, or pumpkin. And then you pay double for something so that you spend less time on it at home. It’s terrible.

4. You get a bit of the creeps from ‘fake cola’
Store brand cola, but also Pepsi falls under the category of fake cola for you. And peanut butter that isn’t Calvé. What other people do, they should know for themselves, but it just doesn’t work for you.

5. You have a favorite flavor of almost, uh, everything

Which means you can suddenly say in a restaurant: ‘I just don’t like Sourcy water that much’ and everyone looks at you pityingly.

6. Friends occasionally call you the princess and the pea

Well, anything is better than Stingy Gerda, right?

7. Sushi from the supermarket = error in your head

What? Sushi? In the fridge? HAHA. HAHAHA. Good joke.

More than three times ‘Yes’? Look, there you go. Food snob.
