fooding
n.— «Go “fooding.” No, it’s not a typo, but a new Parisian word to describe the concept of food as a fashion lifestyle choice. Le fooding is as much about the ambience and style of the restaurant as the food on your plate.» —“Sexe Et La Citè…The £1,000 Paris Weekender” by Alison Tyler Evening Standard (U.K.) Oct. 8, 2004.
