"Gourmandise is an impassioned, rational and habitual preference for all objects that flatter the sense of taste. Gourmandism is one of the main links uniting society."
Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste
"Of all passions, Gourmandise seems to me to be the only one respectable"
Guy de Maupassant
"People predestined to gourmandism are in general of medium height; they have round or square faces, bright eyes, small foreheads, short noses, full lips and rounded chins..."
Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
“The difference between a gourmet and a gourmand we take to be this: a gourmet is he who selects, for his nice and learned delectation, the most choice delicacies, prepared in the most scientific manner; whereas the gourmand bears a closer analogy to that class of great eaters ill-naturedly (we dare say) denominated, or classed with, aldermen.”
Abraham Hayward, The Art of Dining
“The gourmand is in harmony with the outside world. He is in fact a normal person.”
Edouard De Pomaine
