Relating to the art, science, or enjoyment of good food and fine cooking; concerning gastronomy or culinary excellence.
From gastronomy, which combines gastro- (stomach) + -nomy (from Greek nomos, 'law' or 'system'). The term literally means 'the laws of the stomach' and emerged in French cuisine in the 1800s.
The word 'gastronomy' is oddly formal—it literally means 'the rules of eating'—but it became the fancy term for food culture in France and spread worldwide through haute cuisine.
