5/1     Is there a word to describe people who are intensively fond or
        desirous of good food?  Thx.
        \_ Epicureans?  Also, perhaps, glutton, but gluttony doesn't
           imply choosiness in the food.
           \_ epicureanism implies a love or knowledgeable enjoyment
              especially of good food and drink
        \_ how about gourmet?
        \_ Foodie
        \_ foodie
              n : a person devoted to refined sensuous enjoyment (especially
                  good food and drink) [syn: {epicure}, {gourmet},
                  {gastronome}, {bon vivant}, {epicurean}]
        \_ If they really know something about it, foodie.
           If they talk a lot but really have no clue, dilettante.
           \_ What's the word for people who will eat just about anything?
              \_ If "foodie" is the word you were looking for earlier,
                 how about "fattie"?
              \_ Megacoprovore  --  someone who eats lots of shit
              \_ Hungry.
              \_ In Cantonese we call them "trash cans".
              \_ Garbage disposal or black hole
        \_ Gourmand
           \_ This seems to be the best.  Thx.  -- OP
              \_ Best in what way? They are all synonyms.
                 \- you know "gourmand" is kind of a sarcastic word, right?
                    i.e. "it sounds french and fancy like 'gourmet' but
                    you really mean a 'glutton'". not a synonym for "gourmet".

12/4    Why are eastern european models so plentiful and hot?
        \_ By "models" do you mean cam stippers? I wonder that
           myself.
        \_ Less processed food?
        \_ Genetics. I went to Estonia this summer and that's just what

8/2     Where's the closest Chick-Fil-A to San Francisco? I need to
        go there and make out with my boyfriend.        -gay
        \_ Chick-Fil-A is a place for people who want to Fil(l)-A-Chick. :-)

4/23    I love greasy comfort food but as I'm approaching mid 30 I
        can't eat them anymore. Anyone else have the same problem?
        \_ 42 and still happily scarfing down the greasy comfort
           food, just not in the same quantities. It's a genetic
           thing.
        \_ 47 and eating greasy food, but not as much. McDonalds grosses
