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.

It is suddenly clear why the people who post to cmi.consumer.gourmand are the way they are. I had interpreted gourmand to be the same as gourmet, when this is obviously not the case. Not to mention that some of those people are particular (or picky) in their tastes rather than discriminating.
hey whats up?
Yeah, what’s going on? Blog more.
Sorry, Flash. I’ll try to do better.
