Gourmand Overview
Gourmand is a skill that lets you get the most value out of regenerative foods. It is usually first obtained by eating hardtack found in a sack or porridge cooked by Lawara on the starter island of Anagoge. It is raised most effectively by eating every single type of unique consumable meal or drink that you come across. Such foods can be cooked, bought from vendors, or simply gathered (for example Large Strawberries). Some rare foods may be obtained as rewards for performing favors for or hanging out with various NPCs.
Experience
Each kind of food will reward Bonus Experience the first time they are eaten. Typically this is 10 times the Meal Level, but some of the lower-level food it's different. To see all the unique foods you've already eaten (and how many of each), go to Skills pane > Gourmand and select the button there. Some high-level foods will provide a small amount of XP (+1) each time they are consumed.
Types of Foods
The most common foods are "Meals". These give you tons out-of-combat regen, and a bit of in-combat regen. Meals can be further divided into solid foods vs drinks. Foods have better regen than drinks of the equivalent level, but drinks increase your max Power. You only have ONE Meal active at any time.
The second type is "Snacks". These are a bit weaker than meals, but give you extra max Health AND Power. You can only have ONE Snack active at any time.
The other foods are "Instant Snacks". These don't give you any kind of regen/bonuses, instead they restore flat amounts of health and power. You can eat Instant Snacks whenever you want, as long as you don't run out of Metabolism.
