gastronome

A collapse in restaurant dining, worldwide travel bans, and a global recession haven’t stopped well-heeled gastronomes from splashing out huge sums on the prized tuber magnatum pico.

A gastronome of the old school who preserves the simple tastes and adheres to the natural diet of the pre-pork period.

They despise the makeshift spectacle, as much as a true gastronome does mock-turtle, or an old campaigner a sham fight.

In Sir Kenelm's receipts for cookery the gastronome would find something to amuse him, and more to arouse his horror.
