What is Chowhound?
The term chowhound, which is also sometimes spelled out "Chow Hound", has two meanings that both refer to a person who is a food lover. One of the meanings concerns a person who eats a large amount of food and is considered an OBCK. The second meaning concerns a person who simply loves food, especially gourmet and exotic varieties and enjoys his or heard eating experiences. The latter does not necessarily mean a person over food or a large number of her, but instead of her high quality food and is particularly grateful for every meal.
Since this term can be used both in a positive way, it refers to a person who has knowledge of food and witty with their eating experiences and a negative way, because someone who has too much must be used carefully. If the term is used without caution, it may offend the person used to describe. Chowhound synonyms are fanatic foods and food.
