Not sense 1 ("excessive devotion to eating"), but sense 2: "worship of food". I don't believe this word is used for actually bowing down before a loaf of bread etc. Equinox ◑ 14:07, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

- I have the impression that in these quotations the term “worship” is not meant in a literal, religious sense, but as hyperbole for being very fond of the products of the more refined cuisine. --Lambiam 22:15, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- That may be so, although it seems to have a somewhat different nuance than "excessive devotion to eating". The 1874 goes on to talk about a focus on improving or elaborating cooking techniques, and the 1988 goes on to talk about "Gastron", the god of the stomach. Kiwima (talk) 02:31, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
RFV-resolved, broadened definition one slightly and deleted definition two. Kiwima (talk) 20:47, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
