It is from the French. It actually means something closer to what a sommalier is. Specializing in wine.
It eventually evolved to mean someone who prepares food using exceptional or the best ingredients. making it gourmet food or prepared by a gourmet chef.

Usually, the term 'gourmet' refers to something with better quality than most people are used to...
But it can also just be marketing. If you market sewer water as 'gourmet', chances are someone will be dumb enough to drink the stuff.

Just my opinion,but I qualify any meal/dish that tastes much better than others of it s kind/similar to it s kind,as gourmet. Something that just tastes so damn good,it has to be gourmet. A well-crafted,top notch tasting meal,something that leaves your mouth orgasmic,if you will. Presentation&cost,is only a very small part of gourmet ,IMO&the ingredients don t have to be specialty. Just so long as ones mouth,is watering&smiling,upon completeing the meal/dish. (:

LOL, good question! I had a "gourmet" pizza yesterday, it was different and better and more expensive! It was damn good though! So maybe "gourmet" means, WORTH IT!

It sounds like you will be receiving food stamps until Feb of 2012.Then after that you most likely will be on your own.This is what welfare is for to help people get back on their feet,not to live off of for their whole lives.Good luck on finding a good paying job.

New twists on old recipes. Jazzing things up. Fusion cooking, combining strangely different and/or hard to find ingredients. And most of it is presentation, not anything you'd see slopped on a plate at a greasy spoon diner.

It is often used as an adjective for meals of especially high quality, whose makers or preparers have used especial effort or art in presentation or cooking the meal, or for facilities equipped for preparing such meals, such as a restaurant.
