Gourmet food is often associated with the intricate preparation and quality (sometimes rarity) of the ingredients. It´s food that is prepared with the idea of pleasing and impressing the diner´s palate rather just satisfying their hunger. Gourmet food is often served in small portions and a meal consists of various courses. Each small course presents a different taste and texture to the palate. The order in which each course is served is planned so that the each one complements the one that came before it.
The ingredients in gourmet food are often pricey, and are often considered delicacies. Some examples of typical gourmet food are caviar, foie gras, truffles, and different kinds of cheese.
Both the preparers and consumers of gourmet food tend to be very knowledgeable about good food.
