Are you a gourmand or a gourmet? 

Ekkarat Sukpetch uses the word “gourmand” in her otherwise entertaining and information-packed report on Singapore’s 
culinary and leisure scene. A 
gourmand is a person who enjoys eating – and often eats too much. This word often has a negative connotation. 
A gourmet, on the other hand, is a connoisseur of good food. This word might be a better way to describe the discerning diners of Singapore’s Michelin-starred restaurants.
