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". |
