Gourmet vs Gourmand vs Glutton
Food, General March 9th, 2005
From the word of the day:
Gourmand is from French gourmand, “greedy.”
Usage note: A gourmet is one who has discriminating taste in
food and wine. A gourmand is one who enjoys food of fine
quality, and also one who enjoys food in great quantities.
Glutton signifies one who simply eats to excess, without
reference to the quality of the fare consumed.
Good to know.
