A self-explanatory and enthusiastic label for someone who is completely obsessed with food — eating it, photographing it, talking about it, and seeking it out. It overlaps with 'foodie' but adds a comic admission of compulsion, as if the person cannot help themselves. Foodaholics make the best restaurant companions, the worst dieters, and the most passionate cooks. The term is warm and playful rather than clinical, worn as a badge of honour by people who simply love to eat well.

As a confirmed foodaholic, she had already booked three restaurant reservations before the holiday even began.
Origin: Formed on the pattern of 'workaholic' and 'chocaholic,' blending 'food' with the '-aholic' suffix suggesting compulsive behaviour. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
