Definitions

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 palate, but in practice the two terms are closely linked, as both imply the enjoyment of good food.

"Gourmandise is an impassioned, rational and habitual preference for all objects that flatter the sense of taste."
Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste.
