What is gourmet? 

Gourmet refers to high-quality, expertly prepared, and often luxurious food and drink. The term is typically associated with refined tastes, specialized ingredients, and artistic presentation. Gourmet dishes often use fresh, rare, or exotic ingredients and are crafted with attention to detail by skilled chefs.

Gourmet can also refer to a person with a discerning palate who appreciates and understands fine food and drinks. In this sense, it involves a focus on both the quality of ingredients and the method of preparation.
