Question

What is the meaning of gourmet meal ?

Answer 1

usually one that has uncommon items and cost lots of money

Answer 2

Well, in order to literally answer that question, we must break down the two words being used.

First of all the word "Gourmet".  Gourmet is defined by Encarta.Com as relating to high-quality food that is sophisticated, expensive, rare, or meticulously prepared.

It is also used to refer to somebody who enjoys and knows a lot about good food and drink.  

That would not be me.

Now onto the second word, "Meal".  According to the same site, a meal refers to food eaten at one time: a substantial amount of food, often more than one course, that is provided and eaten at one time.  

It is also defined as time for eating food: any occasion, e.g. breakfast or lunch, when a substantial amount of food is provided and eaten.

Now when you combine these two separate words together to form a phrase or part of a sentence, they create an entity of their own.  According to our quoted site, a "Gourmet Meal" would be a substantial amount of high-quality food that is sophisticated, expensive, rare, or meticulously prepared, often more than one course, that is provided and eaten at one time.  

Hope this has helped.

Answer 3

Right, Gourmet has got the same root as "gourmand" which in french means greedy but is quite an endearing term and really means greedy but in a nice cheeky way. Therefore as a variation on that word, in french a "gourmet" is someone who appreciates good food, ie has the knowledge and experience to appreciate especially good/special food. Therefore a gourmet meal would be a meal that can be appreciated by very fine palates. That's it

A plate that looks like it's really fancy, the way they arrange the food to make it look elegant. They usually cost a lot too.
