I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'he won't eat anything' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for epicure that I've seen before include "An individual of some discrimination" , "Lover of fine eating" , "A faddist in food and drink" , "Bon vivant" , "Person with fastidious tase in food and wine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
