?Which word?
gourmand, gourmet and glutton
A gourmet knows and enjoys fine food in moderation; the word is praise. A gourmand loves eating and eats a great deal; it is mildly critical. A glutton eats greedily and too much; it is plainly critical. All three are one-word-substitution favourites.
Gourmet उत्तम भोजन को जानता और संयम से उसका आनंद लेता है; यह शब्द प्रशंसा है। Gourmand खाने का शौकीन है और बहुत खाता है; यह हल्की आलोचना है। Glutton लालच से और बहुत ज़्यादा खाता है; यह साफ़ आलोचना है। तीनों one-word substitution में प्रिय हैं।
