gastronomy

The gastronomy is that part of the hospitality industry that deals with the entertainment of guests . In contrast to the restaurants , gastronomy not only satisfies hunger and thirst , but also the cultural need for experience and communication . Gastronomy is a special form of communal catering .

Word origin

The internationalism of gastronomy can be traced back to the actual meaning of 'gastric knowledge' ( ancient Greek γαστρονομία gastronomía ). "Gastronomía" is made up of γαστήρ gastḗr , genitive γαστρός gastrós (German: "belly, stomach") and the word ending -nomia ('subject'). It was originally borrowed from γαστρολογία gastrología ('doctrine of the care of the abdomen').

The term gastronomy found its way into the German language in the 19th century; he stood for the upscale gastronomy or for the culinary art . The spread of the term was probably facilitated by the similarity with the German word Gast , which is not etymologically related .
