fooding
n.— «Es el nuevo «deporte» de mesa: la de la típica casa de comidas con menú del día o la del restaurante más sofisticado. Una moda para paladares inquietos con sus propias tendencias. No hay soirée que se precie que no comience por una buena cena ni negocio bien cerrado que no se haya firmado sobre un mantel. Así reza el primer mandamiento del fooding (del inglés food, comida), la última pasión por experimentar con la cocina que viene pegando fuerte desde Londres y París.» —“El fooding (del inglés food, comida), la última pasión por experimentar con la cocina” by Sara Saez El Mundo (Spain) June 12, 2000.
