“My friend John is a gourmand who can distinguish and appreciate the intricate flavors in any dish.”

“For the gourmand there are homemade pickles and jams.”

“It would figure that this great hog, this glorified genre gourmand, would want more.”

“As soon as he had appeased his appetite, or his gourmandism, he went to look to the economy of the establishment.”

“Like airline food, university cafeterias rarely have a strong and loyal following among the discerning gourmands they serve.”

“The gourmands not only developed recipes, which focused on the quality of the food, but they also advocated a lifestyle that revered eating.”

“I ate a porgy for the first time on Wednesday, an odd little tropical fish that is well known and loved by gourmands in this part of the world.”
