Gourmet is a period-32 oscillator that was discovered by David Buckingham on March 4, 1978. In terms of its 66 cells, it was formerly the smallest known period 32 oscillator until the discovery of the p32 honey farm hassler in 2021. It consists of four cis-boat with tails and four aircraft carriers hassling a pi-heptomino.

Despite gourmet's similarity with Tanner's p46, the latter was not discovered until 2017.
