Definition
Plural of gourmet; people who appreciate and eat fine food with refined taste and judgment.
Etymology
English pluralization of gourmet (from French 'gourmet', possibly from 'gourmand' or a wine-merchant related term). The 's' ending makes it English plural despite the French origin.
Kelly Says
Gourmets are distinguished from gourmands in a subtle but important way: a gourmet appreciates the *quality* of food, while a gourmand loves *quantity*—two French words that let English speakers express a philosophical difference about eating.
