Word?

What is the term used to describe someone who likes eating good food. When would u use foodie or foodaholic? Thanks,
  

Top answer

HI, If someone likes eating food I wouldn't declare him as a "foodaholic". A foodaholic is rather someone who eats very much, hasn't a sporty figure, and prefers unhealthy food. But I don't know how common it is.

HI,

Foodie might be a suitable word for someone who prefers visiting nobel restaurants.But I don't know how common it is. Wait for a native speaker !:)

You're probably looking for "gourmand."
See the usage note on this page:

and this Wikipedia article:

And a gourmet is the one who prepares the good food.
