请问 老饕是什么意思？

Answer

来自古代神话中的一个怪兽----饕餮（taō tiè）。
原意是指“贪婪”，但现在却指那些特别会吃，对美食文化和传统很了解的人。
是从原来的贬义转变为褒义的词汇。

Answer

It depends on the tone and context of it being used.  It's like "you little imp!"  A 饕餮 is a mythical beast that has a mouth but no posterior.  It eats everything and nothing comes out.  It is a good luck motif found on ancient bronzes to signify the wealth and prestige of the owner.

Answer

I did a search (because I'm curious myself). The two guys above are right. The definition of "glutton" I think is 贪吃 not 贪心，someone who is greedy when it comes to eating (I could be wrong though).
