Like- nom nom nom… or nom^3 if your a geek.

Nom’s are frequently accompanied by pinched fingers near the mouth, miming the eating of food (a sandwich for example).

If you pinch your fingers near your mouth and say nom nom nom then you are signifying that something is extremely delicious or enticing.

Nom’s can also be used for cute or adorable things, like babies, puppies, and elephants.

Do we need to start adding entries for every food item we eat from other countries? Is there an entry for vindaloo or prig pow? Also that definition for banh mi is a little shakey. why does it start rambleing on about noodles and soup? what does that have to do with banh mi? and since when is a banh mi a snack?

Taquitos, on the other hand, I welcome to the Oxford English Dictionary with open arms.

Also, taquitos are really good if you make them yourself or get them from a restaurant – Olvera St. in LA has the best in the world.
