gormand
One who overindulges
A gormand is someone who eats enthusiastically and in large quantities—more focused on volume than refinement.
The word overlaps with glutton but carries less moral judgment; a gormand simply loves to eat.
The related gourmand has shifted toward appreciating fine food, while gormand retains the earthier sense of hearty appetite.
