SC - Interesting culinary tidbit

[Jennifer Conrad]

found this while web surfing............

"The word gourmet did not originate in France, but actually comes from the
Farsi word for stew: "Ghormeh." It is believed to have been brought back to
the western world by French Crusaders, impressed by the lavish feasts of the
Middle Eastern tables."
