Gourmand
December 30, 2008
A gourmand is a person who takes great pleasure in food. The word has different connotations from the similar word gourmet, which emphasises an individual with a highly refined discerning palette, but in practice the two terms are closely linked, as both imply the enjoyment of good food.
An older usage of the word is to describe a person given to excess in the consumption of food and drink, synonymous with “glutton“.
