Epicure's Pride is a term used to describe a person who takes great pleasure in the enjoyment of food and drink. It is derived from the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus, who believed that pleasure was the highest good. The term 'PALATE' is often used to refer to the sense of taste, which is essential for an epicure's pride. PALATE is also used to describe the roof of the mouth, which is responsible for the perception of taste.
