吃货 = foodie? Is this a recent slang word? In my dictionary 吃货 has always been "good-for-nothing" (literally a "ware" which can only eat but do nothing useful).
Without contexts, 吃货is more commonly referred to 'foodie' these days. Of course, you can still use it as an insult. Traditonally, 吃货 means 'useless', or literally, 'knowing nothing except for eating'. It all depends on the contexts. Example: 你就是个吃货，什么都不知道 You're useless. You know nothing.

I wasn't aware of either definition (Chinese isn't my native language), but I looked at an online dictionary, and it says that 吃货 can mean both "good-for-nothing" and "foodie". There's a note by the "foodie" definition that says "now more common". I'm not sure if that means that the "foodie" definition is more common than the "good-for-nothing" definition, or if the "foodie" definition is more common now than it used to be.

It's a good that's for sale. It's basically how we get the terms "houseware", "housewares", "homeware", "homewares", "hardware" (as in a "hardware" store and as a computer term), and "software" (computer term). See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ware#Etymology_2, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/houseware, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/housewares, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/homeware, and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/homewares.
"I'm a foodie. I like eating different dishes every day" was rejected but I think it's ok
Please report it next go round if you haven't already done so! With Mandarin being in the beta phase, the more suggestions now, the better the course will be in the future. :)

I think it's more natural to say "different things" at least with "eat". "Eat" is currently accepted as well as "try" but only with "foods" and not "things".

The popup help when you hover over 每天 is wrong. It says "everyday" which is an adjective meaning "mundane, dull, not special". Perhaps Chinese 日常. It should say "every day", like it does correctly in the English version of the sentence.
I'm a foody. I like to eat different things every day.
I accept.perhaps my spelling was off, but it's very natural to say eat things....once again, debating on permissable English rather than focusing on learning Chinese...frustrating app sometimes!

Why isn't 菜 accepted as dishes in this sentence. What determines dishes from foods when it is used.
