probably 'gourmet' or 'gourmand' (but the second word covers greed as well).
foody.
Gourmand, glutton, and trencherman all mean a person who is devoted to eating and drinking to excess (from hyperdictionary.com).
Also epicure.

Or as an Essex person might say: "Greedy Cayer".

(Before you start, I'm a proud ex-Essex girl).

forry, is looking for what we call someone, so, SteveD, I should thing the word 'epicurian' would be more appropriate.

Artful, my Oxford dictionary says:

Epicure n. One who cultivates discriminating taste in food and drink.

Epicurean adj & n. (Person) devoted  to pleasures esp. refined sensuous enjoyment.

So epicure is probably better.

Epicure: (noun) one given to the pleasures of dining

Classmates: bon vivant - epicure - gastronome - gourmet - foodie! 

fat pig.

My apologies, SteveD. I have learnt something today. And hope it has answered forry's question at the same time.
