Now that I live on a college
campus, the accusation of “food snob” has been thrown around quite often. So in an effort to create the next generation
of food snobs, here are 5 Tips on how to determine authentic ingredients from non-authentic.
1. The Term “Made
with Real ____” can indicate that only
a small portion of the ingredient in question is real, this does not mean it
doesn’t contain fillers and in fact mainly means the opposite.

3. Green is Good! Any food snob will no doubt pay homage to Extra-Virgin Olive Oil. But olive oil is not subject to regulations –
so if it isn’t green it isn’t Extra-Virgin.

5. You thought the Red in “All Beef Patties” meant High-Quality? All-beef
patties have the hearts, liver, kidneys and worse ground into them; that's why they're nice and red. Instead, look for the
term “Ground Beef” instead of “All-Beef” and the term “Burger” instead of “Patties”.
There you have 5 food
snobbery tips to authenticating ingredients. Feel free to inform the world about your conversion to the cult!

some things I knew and some I didn't....I'm more of a from scratch cook/baker myself - doesn't usually take much more time, usually cheaper and always taste's better! Tammie K. :-)
