Are you a gourmand? :)

Posted by nida on July 2, 2016

Hi there, friends!

While browsing through the members' pages a few moments ago I came across a new word "gourmand". I saw the meaning of it and found it very interesting. What I like the most is the fact that I am a gourmand myself! ;)

Can you guess the meaning of this word without looking up in a dictionary and do you consider yourself a gourmand, too? :)

Image given below is a big clue! :)

Isn't it "greedy"?

Btw if you are a gourmand, you must be fattest one, I guess so :D

Having looked at this image, at once a word that occurred to my mind was (in roman Urdu) "nadeedi." I don't recall what we call it in English. Please let me know if you know its meaning. Please enrich my poor vocab. :

Thank you for teaching us this new word, dear Nida. I think I am a gourmand. My friends always say that the only thing I do well is eating. :)

I looked up this word and found some related words; foodie, gourmet and glutton.

I think it is more often used because I have read this on number of occassions especially when talking about.
