Gourmand, gourmet or glutton?
When you really enjoy fine foods, wine, a good cigar or anything that excites your sense of taste, you engage in gourmandise, what this site is all about - and if this is one of your favorite pastimes, you are a gourmand. The picture above would be a good depiction of gourmandise if the participants in this little bash were really enjoying it.
If you see yourself as a gourmand, a gourmet or a glutton, there is something for you in this site: recipes, ideas about cuisine and commentary about anything related to the act of tasting - that could be food, wine, booze or cigars.
We would like you, the site visitor to contribute to its contents and be a part of making it useful and fun to visit. Send us recipes, comments, jokes, news, ideas, threats, wahatever. Have you seen a food or restaurant review you want to respond to? How about a dining experience - good or bad - that you would like to share? Tell us about it; we may publish it here.
There is one more item we deal with in these pages: enjoyment. So, even if you are very deeply interested in gastronomy and such, don't take this whole thing too seriously. Enjoy! Our friend to the left could lose her living quarters if she lets others see she is having fun. But most of us don't have to be so politically correct.
Browse this site and find all kinds of goodies. Have fun!

An adventurous foreign gourmet enjoyed the criadillas immensely, so, three years later, being in the area, could not pass up repeating the experience. At the end of the meal, he told the server how great the dish was, but pointed out that the portion on his previous visit - two chunks of meat, each the size of a computer mouse - had been much more substantial than the two nuggets he was served this time. The server´s reply: "But sir, the bullfighter doesn´t always win!"
