أبيقوري
"Epicurean" is not related to taste or food, unless the context specifically implies that. You did not provide any context, so we cannot help you with that part.
We can tell you, however, that if you are translating a passage and the word "Epicurean" appears, the proper approach is to translate the word itself as أبيقوري, regardless of the implications. The writer used that word because he wants that word, not some explanation of it.
"Epicurean" means related to the Greek philosopher Epicurus (341 BC - 270 BC) or to his school of thought, called "Epicureanism." Epicurus is best known for advocating the shameless pursuit of pleasure as morally good conduct, but his philosophical work includes much more than that. Food, drink, and sensuality are only the popular notions. They are not insignificant for a reader, because, often, that is what is implied by writers.
You said you wanted input, but you failed to state what kind of input you seek.
