"Gourmand" How to translate the really meaning of the French word gourmand ? Some French people are gourmands and gourmets, at least I am. I have a trouble when I want to use this word because I don't really find the exact shade of translation. The only that I found was sweet teeth, but it's only for sweets. Is this only a French feature ?

I am gourmande as well! Lizzie's advice with "foodie," is good. I say, "I really enjoy good food."

"Gourmand" How to translate the real meaning of the French word "gourmand"?

Some of the French are gourmands and gourmets, at least I am. I have trouble when I want to use this word because I have not really found its exact shade of translation.
The only thing that I found was "sweet tooth", but that is only for sweets.
Is this only a French feature ?

very well written!

"good eater" is sometimes applied to an eater with refined tastes. As Lizzie says "foodie" is good. If you are in one of the Great Eating Halls in Oxbridge, you can, without the slightest compunction, use "epicurian". Nobody will bat an eyelid.

If gourmands or gourmet means someone who really likes food in general the same way people who 'have a sweet tooth' really like sweets, you can use the word 'foodie' in English. Foodie is a slang word though, so I would use it in conversations but not for formal situations.
