Good Monday to you Dear Readers! It has been a while since I made a “10 Things You Should Know About Food Bloggers” list and truth be told this list has been sitting in my Moleskine for months waiting for me to transcribe it. The problem? My messy writing which would put any doctor to shame. I managed to decipher my swirly loops and without further ado, may I present you with my next 10 Things You Should Know About Food Bloggers!
1. Forget Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous (unless by narcotics, you mean an addiction to sniffing freshly ground spices), the foodus bloggerus has to check oneself into Cookbook Rehab. That is, the addiction to buying and collecting cookbooks rendering shelves buckled as a result and credit cards depleted. We may not even cook from any of them of course which is the somewhat startling truth as others may ask why we bother buying them but like an addict, some things are just hard to resist. And yes this includes cookbooks that are in French even though we can barely read the language and will spend hours typing it into an online translator in order to cook the recipe.
2. An addiction to butter. Sugar may be one thing but if you don’t have a sweet tooth, butter traverses the sweet and the savoury. For those of us who grew up on margarine (and let’s face it, a lot of us did as it was touted as the new, spreadable wonderspread when our parents were making our sandwiches) going back to butter is like having a new sense of taste opened up. It’s the fifth sense aka the sense of butter.
Mmm butter…
3. The Food Blogger is often wary of health tests, particularly those testing cholesterol as above mentioned addiction to butter and copious sampling may supply us with alarming results. So make like an ostrich and bury our heads in the sand ignoring the creeping pounds and expanding waistline.
4. Like most people, the foodus bloggerus has a distinct dessert tank in their stomach. This may be more developed in a Food Blogger due to our a) predisposition for cooking sweets and b) our frequency of encountering sweets when we eat out, which is often you do see.
Phwoar!
5. Food envy. You know the moment when your dining companions order something absolutely fabulous? We try and avoid this by copiously researching a place for their signature dishes or quizzing the wait staff (and a waiter’s answer of “Everything is good here” is likely to induce panic and eye rolling from us). Luckily my friends are wonderful and will share with me. Lord knows that they’ve probably learnt through experience that it’s just easier to share and surrender 
6. The Foodus Bloggerus has a love hate relationship with sites such as foodgawker and tastespotting. These two sites, among others, are the nightclub door people. You hate them when they don’t let you in i.e. don’t put up a photo and it’s often so, so arbitary. They can be so cut throat when giving you a reason with curt and cutting answers i.e. “Poor compostion!” “Bad lighting!” but when they let you in, you feel like you got into the club. For the last few months I took myself out of the running with both and don’t bother submitting to either anymore and it’s great waking up and not being greeted with a pass or fail in my inbox.
7. Travelling with a food blogger is never a boring experience. Because Australia’s quarantine laws are so strict, we always have to declare food and our luggage is usually over the weight limit weighed down by jars – for me jars of jams in flavours that we just don’t get back at home (I came back with seventeen jars of jam on my last trip to Austria and Dubai). And when we recently came back from a trip to New Zealand and I saw that Border Security was filming I told them that I didn’t want to be on camera just in case they saw my jars of jam and packets of biscuits which were enough to feed a horde of hungry wolves. I just wasn’t in the mood to explain.
8. History gives us B.C. (Before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini). In blog land there is B.B. (Before Blog) and D.B. (During Blog). Food blogger regret is the anguish one feels when they think back to the the fantastic meals that they’ve eaten B.B. that is before the blog started and were never recorded (or recorded on phone camera and therefore aren’t really of bloggable photo quality). All those years of dining out on the corporate credit card would almost raise a tear from me.
9. Our cupboards are full of single pieces of china and cutlery and sets scoured from vintage markets and stores that we use for props. We’re also the ones that buy a whole tea set knowing that it will look great for one story and once it’s done we realise that we’ve got enough china to open up our own store. I have so much I need to store some in my parents basement.
Multilingual!
10. We are food-lingual. At least as far as menus are concerned. I speak great Menu French but having not progressed past French 101 at University not so much of the rest (although I can ask “Do you know the way to the hotel?“). We know our way through a menu in a huge number of countries but French is one language where we can often claim to be food-lingual.
So tell me Dear Reader or Dear Blogger, what other strange habits have you observed from our kind?

I will change my order if someone else at the table orders the same thing. And I’ve been depressed when I’ve eaten something delicious only to realize I will never be able to recreate it at home because the ingredients are impossible to find.
I love the one about single dishes! I have a TON of mismatched dishes, placemats, and little photo props!
TOO funny… so much is true. I have been a dedicated packrat for years because of my other job… nice that it is all coming in handy. I am guilty of most of the blog sins, lord help me!
ha ha you really made me laugh reading these ten things mostly cause I know they re true
Hahah this is so true! My poor bookshelf is struggling under the weight of all the cookbooks, and my cupboards are so full with cups, plates and other pieces of props! Hmm, I can’t comment on the strange habits, but I’m sure my partner could name a few!
Looks like you could do a documentary on the species Lorraine! Perhaps you should!
A great post LOL! I am a Foodus Bloggerus for sure ;-P…
Cheers,
Rosa
I adore your posts like this, Lorraine! I think I need to check myself into Cookbook Rehab…it’s such an obsession! I always tell myself “it’s just one more, what harm is there in that?” About 50 cookbooks later I think I realize I have a problem.
Ha! Love it, I have giggled, nodded and shrieked. I think you have a few more to add to the list
Number 6 is so true. In fact all of it is on the ball. Ehehhehe love or when you post thinks that make me say “omg that’s me” eheheheh
you know I’m surprised to hear that foodgawker has such strict rules! I see “blah” stuff on there all the time
Yes, there’s definitey a BB and DB. Such a shame all those great meals that weren’t documented
hehe
haha what a great post! I am definitely suffering from No 1 – ie a cookbook addiction! I am actually on a self imposed ban pending a new shelf being built
Great post!
“The sense of butter”… I love it!! And 8 and 10 yes yes yes! I couldn’t speak a word of German or Italian on my trip, and only a tiny bit of French, but I could confidently translate all ingredients on packets of snacks and menus
Oh, and yes the the food envy and agony of pre-blog food. Just as well I’ve got a fancy 90th birthday dinner coming up next month!
(Not mine… )
Great list. Have a great Monday!!!
Okay Lorraine – I am pretty sure you are NOT referring to me for the first point on the cookbook addiction right? Even if I just shipped 27 kilos of books in French and Spanish!
Loving this list altogether – I wish I could add one more but I think you’ve got it pretty covered. I like what you said about Tastespotting and Foodgawker – I didn’t know I could care so much about being rejected!
I so agree with 5 and 10..!!
not sure about others..but for me.. i’ve been told i’ve developed a habit of picking up unusual jars of preserves, antipasto and jams from weekend markets.. which my partner blames when i complain about the space issue in my pantry…:P
Ha ha LOrraine…love it all especially the first one!!!
And yes, there is nothing like butter♥x
Hahahah I love it. I’m not a blogger but I try and research before I go to a restaurant so I don’t have to experience Food Envy
my friends aren’t so keen on swapping plates
LOL. I understand this very well. However, I think I take my food blogging more casually than many others. Although I did start acquiring a small stack of what the hubby calls “food blog plates”.
So right about the cookbooks!! I have just had new shelves put in the kitchen and they are already full. The family is complaining because they have to move piles of cookbooks off the kitchen table before they can sit down to eat!
I have an addiction to cookbooks!!! Im always in the cookbook section of bookstores, and always buying new cookbooks. And I will admit I have never cooked a single thing from about half of the cookbooks I own. But I won’t be getting rid of them (presumably to make room for more cookbooks), on the pretense that one day, I might just cook something from one of those cookbooks
Sometimes its hard to resist checking what people at other tables have ordered… and ofcourse harder to resist the imagination of what that dish tastes like!! this is my difficulty.
I can’t stop nodding my head as I read through the list, thinking “yeah, I got that, I got that too…”
Being new to the world of food blogging, I am beginning to show some traits of a food blogger espcially point #6, I complete hear you, Lorraine!
Alas, I love butter and sugar, and have feared the health tests, but I cannot have much at all of them any more!
Well, technically I’m a mummmyblogger with a food leaning but you got a great big “oh yeah” from me on just about all of them. Especially 3 (increasing waistline)and 4 (dessert tank), but I’m blaming age for one and thanking genetics for the other. They are in no way related to each other LOL
hehe i love it lorraine keep em coming along u could totally make a book out of it all :O)
ahhhhh too true. I can especially relate to cookbooks, tastespotting and single pieces of crockery
Love these posts!
LOL! I have just had to kick start my diet as I have a health check coming up in the summer – I was so ashamed last year that I didn’t show up! And about butter… have you watched the film Julie and Julia yet?! Gosh, you must, must, must! (I must confess though, to my shame, I had never heard of Julia Childs) xxx
Well I haven’t started my blog yet but am so desperate to do so. I think all 32 things (including you previous list of 10 and 12!) would be me! I have been called “food tragic”…you know…the kind that has 4000 digital photos of our trip to Europe with 95% being of food and the rest of the occasional “landmark” and a pile of cookbooks beside the bed… not to mention the pantry that can no longer close etc…
Trouble is my 12 year old son has caught the disease too…”photo Mum, Photo!!!!” hahaha
Hilarious post. It’s all so true.
I have at least 200 cookbooks & as a relative new blogger I had the same thought of buying some props.
I did most of these things before being a blogger that’s why I decided I had to start one.
hahaha…I agree!
Oh god – I thought you were writing about me!!
My sneakiest trick is cutting slices of things for photos and then trying to jam them back in so I can take a “whole” cake somewhere… lol
I’ve managed to get away with not buying many cookbooks (I have two! that’s it!) but the mismatched dishes is spot on!
Love this. And we love our cameras. We are good at taking food photos and not people! well, me anyway.
Oh man, I get the serious case of food envy sometimes. Like, a raging jealous hissy fit.
I must know a different circle of food bloggers, though…because most food bloggers I know SHUN butter like the devil. They weight themselves obsessively, and they seek out vegan and raw restaurants when they go traveling.
Grr…it drives me NUTS!!!!!
NQN, how do you make the butter swirl like you have on the butter photo up there? i often embarras myself when my friends are over (altho they may not care of the presentation)for meal and there it lay on the table, the ugly block of butter
Oh you have looked deeply into my dark, dark secrets! Did you have a peep at my secret collection of cookbooks that are so numerous they prop up my furniture? Which begs the question, if a meal is not blogged does it exist? hehe!
Great post, all so true!! Infact, I have a shipment of cook books that I ordered from Amazon the other day making it’s way across the ocean right now, even though half of the books on my shelf haven’t been opened yet…..just can’t help myself!!
That is hilarious! Tastespotting and Food Gawker ARE like night club door people. I can’t tell you how many times my friends and I “can’t get in” but then we find others who have shimmied their way inside with photos that are clearly out of focus or just plain mediocre. Sigh, I guess one can’t be part of the “cool club” all the time, huh?
So funny as so true! I love the fifth sense of butter- I made my first lot yesterday and it is a sense that is happily here to stay.
very entertaining post – I love number 8 – I get so annoyed at all the food and travel before my blog that never made it and I dream of having time to do up an archive! As for number 3 and 4 you forgot to mention that we are under the terrible influence of other bloggers such as your good self: every time I try to eat healthy food, I get tempted by another fabulous creation
You are SO perfectly right – (4) my obaachann told me years ago I had a betsu bara (extra stomach) for dessert and she’s always right, (5) this is but FOMO by another name (fear of missing out)! The evil glances I have stolen at neighbouring table’s food…;P and (10) I can speak menu-and-market-at-least-6 languages but in any other situation…fail. Great post!
haha.. always love your lists about food bloggers
definitely can relate to a few of them here..
Rediscovering butter after years of margarine use was a beautiful, glorious experience. It’s almost worth going back to margarine for a while in order to relive the magic. Almost.
Great list Lorraine. I don’t always submit to Tastespotting and Food Gawker and look on being accepted as a bonus. I’ve had a few rejects and it doesn’t bother me. C’est la vie.
A cute story!
I don’t think that cookbooks are the sole domain of the food blogger. I even had a built in bookcase installed in our extension to cope with all our cookbooks. It was twice the size of the original bookcase but is now full thanks to the ability to house Delicious and Gourmet Traveller. I’ve started documenting recipe locations in a file so I know where to find favourites as otherwise I go ‘now where was the fabulous salmon recipe with the asparagus’ and have no idea!
Another hilarious post on the strange habbits of bloggers. You’ve put a smile on my face!
Another habit is that, when travelling in a foreign country, you will forego the world’s most fantastic sights in the hunt for the best local cuisine and flavours.
So true about Before Blog and After Blog I always regret not starting it earlier!
dessert tank. food-lingual. before blog. as usual, i found myself nodding and laughing. great list, lorraine.
also, down with tastespotting!
Love these lists! They are fantastic. I share your love for butter. Or Buttah as I like to say – really enunciate that “h” at the end
My boyfriend doesn’t understand – he likes margarine! *shudder*
Gosh I could LIVE off croissants!
Oh and I have quite a developed dessert stomach hehe.
no. 1 is definitely me. i’ve got to the point where there’s piles of cookbooks on the shelf, on my desk and on the floor. i’m running out of room!! and well, no. 9 is me too. i’m running out of space to house everything!
And, not just any butter, it has to be the “right” butter. Hehe. You know you’re a food blogger when you realize you’ve spent all your clothing budget on FOOD and FOOD APPLIANCES and you don’t care. hehe
You know you’re a food blogger when your husband (who used to be a lettuce and ranch dressing person) says, “oh let’s get some of those micro greens.”
L, if you don’t make it into the “club” no one should. BTW, I have NEVER even tried. I’ve been chosen twice in six weeks to be food buzz featured publisher and that mystified me. But, I’m going to have to take on the challenge of busting the “club.” hehe
LOL @ the first point. I think I am the biggest culprit for that one
Ooh. Point 5. Whenever a waiter tells me, “Everything is good here” I feel like walking out.
Knock Knock. Miss NQN. In reference to Point 7. I am obsessed with all things Anathoth. Where oh where did you get the Spicy Green Tomato Chutney?
Point 8. You have hit a sore spot. I don’t want to talk about it.
bbwahaha @ Point 9. I have boxes of mismatched items that will send my in-laws crazy.
kikiki. I cannot speak vietnamese at all. give me a vietnamese menu and i’ll translate it perfectly.
Nice list Lorraine!
Stacks and stacks of single recipes collected from magazines and other less likely places, that I’ll try “sometime”. Sometimes I go through them and try to cull out ones I will never get to, but it’s impossible to throw out that amazing idea for ahi tuna that I found in Gourmet magazine four years ago!
I am guilty of each and every other item in this list and the earlier one….
This was HILARIOUS!
too funny, as always! great pictures, great post! thanks for getting my humdrum week off to a great start!!!
)
We’re really a tribe of our own, aren’t we? LOL
Great sequel to Parts 1 & 2. Hope there will be a part 4 soon.
What a gret post. Definitely put a smile on my face
I’m quite new to the food blogging world but can already identify with multiple points. Definitely 1-5 and recently 9.
I especially love the cookbook reference. I an addicted to them, and between you and me (and the rest of your readers) have had to put myself on a total ban this year – overloaded way too much last year. But now I see it’s not just me, it’s really not that bad, there are more of me like that out there, well, I may just have to place another order. There’s always at least 20+ books on my wishlist so that won’t be a problem!
I’m sure you would fully encourage this behaviour!
There’s quite a few. The ritual that we go through whenever we dine out with the camera. Holding onto the menu even after we’ve completed our order. The unusual amounts of certain ingredients that we are in surplus of (frozen egg whites seems to be a popular one). Often being in possession of more than one variety of salt. The list goes on.
Great post!
You’re the only food blogger I follow so I don’t have any to add to your list but I also suffer from food envy. Nothing worse than coveting your neighbour’s food!
Too true about number 6
Ahhh yes, Tastespotting & Foodgawker. I gave up eons ago – why go through the headache and heartache? My excuse is I don’t have great lighting in my apartment, and I’m sticking to that. Ha ha!
That’s brilliant, I remember reading one of your other lists when I first discovered your blog but I think this one is even truer. My Menu Italian is marvellous but I can barely order train tickets.
I’m wondering if the reason my friend in Adelaide never gets my parcels is because I put confectionery in them?!
I went to Bourke Street Bakery yesterday and encountered number 4. I bought a pie, a chocolate tart and a lemon curd tart. I was supposed to eat the pie and the chocolate tart there and leave the lemon curd tart for later but couldn’t help myself and demolished it all. Yuuuuummmmm.
P.S. Love the blog, just started my own!
I love this and I can’t wait to read your prior food blogger entries. Numbers 6 and 9 really, really ring fierce for me LOL
BTW, I cannot even imagine Tastespotting or Foodgawker finding ANY fault with any of your photos!
I could definitely relate to #4. Although I think it may be a chicken or the egg thing. Another fun list. xoxo Mum
*g* so, so true (and I’ve seen my standing protectively in front of my stack of cookbooks in the kitchen making faces at people who ask me if I’ve read all of them…)
I always find myself taking secret (or perhaps not so secret) glances at the tables around me when I go out, even if I have already ordered and finished my meal…
I am not a blogger but I am a foodie.
I have a serious cookbook addiction and own several hundred and subscribe to a couple of magazines so my bookshelves are groaning under the weight. Today in Target I put 7 new cookbooks on layby at over $250.
Hilarious, because while i’m not a food blogger (despite my food obsession occasionally creeping into my blog), I can relate to every single one of these! My favourite thing to explore in a new country is the food (which also translates to my luggage). In Paris last year I brought three cookbooks in French, despite also only speaking ‘menu’, ‘fashion’ and university-level French. But what my boyfriend doesn’t understand is that these books we collect are our version of porn (often I just flip through them to think about the foods, without actually needing to make them). And certainly have a second dessert stomach

Hi! love your website immensely -could sit here all day and indulge in it, with thick dark hot chocolate and a salmon, avocado and cream cheese baguette – YUM! I’ve just started a new food blog myself,but am having trouble knowing where to add food pics – as I can’t see where I can add them – maybe I’m doing it wrong
– if you have alittle time, could you please have a look, and to anyone out there in Food Land, any words of advice would be so very much appreciated 
– I’ve added your website, Lorraine, to my blog – happy happy day!
You’re hilarious
Dessert stomach? check.
