"Whenever I was called a gourmet, I suspected……" — Mark Kurlansky
"Whenever I was called a gourmet, I suspected I was being accused of something at least slightly unpleasant. But that was before I heard the term "foodie." I am still not sure that a gourmet is a good thing to be, but it must be better than a foodie."
