gourmand

Noun C1 – Advanced

A person who loves food and eats a large amount of it with real enthusiasm.

"As a self-declared gourmand, he planned every vacation around the local restaurants."

"Gourmand" and "gourmet" are often confused: a gourmet has refined taste, while a gourmand simply loves to eat, often in large quantities.
