Gourmand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A gourmand is a person given to excess in the consumption of food and drink, synonymous with "glutton".
In this usage, there is a concern among the French that their word for the appreciation of gourmet cuisine (gourmandise) is historically included in the French Catholic list of the Seven Deadly Sins. With the evolution in the meaning of gourmand (and gourmandise) away from gluttony, towards the appreciation of good food, French culinary proponents are advocating that the Catholic Church update the infamous list to refer to "gloutonnerie" rather than "gourmandise".
It can refer to:
- the Ligue des Gourmands, founded by Auguste Escoffier in 1912.
- the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards created by Edouard Cointreau in 1995.
- A character in Power Stone 2 called Gourmand
