I don't know. The standard I personally retain for food is to like whatever I like, and to not assume that the applicability of that standard extends beyond the perimeters of my own taste. "Food snobbery" can be a pleasant and educating pastime among those with an equal interest in a particular food product, but an aficionado of processed cheese products is no lesser or better a person than an aficionado of vintage Champagnes. To think myself better than others because of the subjective "standard" of food I eat would be (and has been, and probably
will be), for me, a shallow substitute for actual self-betterment.
As one of Australia's most significant figures in our wine industry (Len Evans) once said/paraphrased, "it's just a bloody drink, so let's drink it".
