English explanation

A gourmet is a person with a discriminating palate and who is knowledgeable in fine food and drink. The word is a corruption of the French word groumet, a valet in charge of the wines. It is often used as an adjective for meals of especially high quality, whose makers or preparers have used especial effort or art in presentation or cooking the meal, or for facilities equipped for preparing such meals, such as a restaurant .

Foodie is a conversational synonym for gourmet that is frequently used in the media.

It should not be confused with gourmand, a person who eats and drinks in large quantities, even to excess.
