Note 20 — VIII. A QUIET EVENING.
Reading edition
“The difference between a gourmet and gourmand we take to be this: a gourmet is he who selects, for his nice and learned delectation, the most choice delicacies, prepared in the most scientific manner; whereas the gourmand bears a closer analogy to that class of great eaters, ill-naturedly (we dare say) denominated or classed with aldermen.”—Haywood’s Art of Dining.
