Gourmand - n - a person devoted to eating and drinking.
Barmaid met quite a few gourmands last night, it was her Inn introductory do and the wine flowed and flowed and flowed...
Sometime later Barmaid can remember thinking that perhaps her Inn wasn't such an archaic, stuffy, fuddy duddy institution after all and that given time, she may indeed become quite fond of it.

It's a more common word in French, meaning greedy (the same).
Indeed - I think the free-flowing wine will be an issue this year!
I think we did rather well compared to the other Inns, where it is rumoured that their introductory reception consisted of 3 bottles of tepid Lambrini and an out of date tube of Pringles:-)
We got mini-bowls of sausage, mash and gravy at Inner Temple. Not a Pringle in sight.
What, no mushy peas to go with the sausage and mash?
I'd worry about the free flowing port - its dangerous stuff!!!
