The thing about buying a gift for someone who is really into food is that they will know. They will know if the olive oil is good. They will know if the salt is interesting or just salt. They will know if you bought the cookbook because you actually thought they'd love it or because you found it on a display table and it had a nice cover. Their whole deal is paying attention to what they put in their mouth, which means they're also paying attention to whether the person giving the gift was paying attention. The pressure is real. So is the opportunity — because when you get it right for a foodie, you really get it right. They will tell you about it. They will use it until it's gone and then ask where you found it.
