miam
Miam is French for 'yum' or 'yummy' — the sound you make when food looks or tastes delicious. Pronounced exactly as written, often doubled as 'miam miam'. You'll hear it from children and adults alike, anywhere good food appears: markets, dinner tables, and every French conversation about cheese.
