Sería algo así como una gastronomía complementaria.
mar52 (asker) Sep 25, 2007:
Tampoco he podido encontrar referencias en español. Entiendo que se trata de alimentos de apoyo a la alimentación, pero que no son esenciales para la nutrición. Les agradezco a todos las opciones.
Juan Jacob Sep 25, 2007:
Pues jamás había oído el término. Aside gastronomy? Ni idea.

Dos ejemplos, a ver si te sirven.

1) "Global market review of the indulgence foods market – forecasts to 2012 has conducted in-depth analysis of the following established indulgent food categories: chilled dairy desserts, cheese, ice cream, chocolate, cakes and biscuits." de http://www.bharatbook.com/businessreports/Global-market-revi...

2) "Premium and indulgent products have universal appeal to all consumers regardless of age, sex, ethnic background or family circumstances; such products are not geographically specific - the concept of higher quality, premium alternatives is accepted across the globe and consumers in all countries are likely to indulge themselves with particular food and drink purchases. Premium and indulgent products are not just limited to confectionery or dairy products, but widely available in many categories including snack products, ready-meals and non-alcoholic drinks. This report aims to identify how the premium and indulgent food and drinks markets are changing across Europe and the United States. The report looks at the main drivers of change from the perspective of manufacturers, retailers and the consumer - how manufacturers are attempting to drive growth in the segment; the strategies that retailers are adopting and how consumer attitudes to premium and indulgent products are evolving." de http://www.marketresearch.com/map/prod/904625.html

Thanks Rachel. It's the "productos que se eligen básicamente para gratificarse y no necesariamente para alimentarse" that made me think of "indulgent foods". Your link seems to be related to the one i sent in 1), doesn't it?

discretionary gastronomy

Or, possibly: auxilliary gastronomy

I offer these suggestions based on the context you provide, but I could find no Internet references for either one.

Maybe even:

comfort foods

Hi Mar,

Could this refer to comfort foods?

Description
Comfort food is typically inexpensive, uncomplicated, and easy to prepare. Many people turn to comfort food for familiarity, emotional security, or special reward. The reasons a dish becomes a comfort food are diverse but often include pleasant associations of childhood. Small children often seem to latch on to a specific food or drink (in a way similar to a security blanket) and will repeatedly request it in high stress situations. Adults eat comfort food for a sense of continuity.

Comfort foods are typically composed largely of simple or complex carbohydrate, such as sugar, rice, refined wheat, and so on.

The term "comfort food" was added to the Webster's Dictionary in 1972.

The Taste of Comfort: Food for thought on how Americans eat to feel better - Statistical Data Included - Brief Article
Do preferred comfort foods differ by gender? You bet. In the survey of 1,005 consumers, we asked those polled to agree or disagree on whether particular foods were comfort foods to them. Males and females recorded striking differences in their responses. For females, the top three comfort foods are ice cream (74 percent), chocolate (69 percent), and cookies (66 percent). All are sweets, and all are basically snack foods. Males said their top three comfort foods are ice cream (77 percent), soup (73 percent), and pizza or pasta (72 percent). With the exception of ice cream, males generally claim they receive more comfort from hot foods and from main meals than do females. This may tell us something about the way to a man's heart.

extra foods / non essential foods / non-essential foods

Un extracto del enlace: "The survey of more than 3800 secondary students found that almost 90 per cent ate "extra", non-essential foods — including fast foods, lollies, crisps and sugary drinks — every day."
