Picture someone having a near-perfect week. Monday, they order in a healthy wrap. Tuesday, they stop for soya chaap on the way home. Wednesday, they go out with friends and end up with momos smothered in mayo and chilli sauce. Thursday, plans include beer and tandoori chicken. Friday, they're on a date at that new ramen spot everyone's going to. Saturday they're catching up with old buddies over pizza from the usual haunt. Sunday, after they've wiped out rajma chawal at home, they sleep away what's left of the weekend.
"I'm a foodie," they proudly tell themselves. They add the term to their Hinge, Tinder and Bumble bios, and hashtag it online.
