Ha ha! I looked them up too!

scrummy
1. noun
(pejorative) (slang) a woman who causes traffic congestion by driving her offspring to and from school.
2. adjective
Childish term for delicious

I really laughed at definition number 1. I think as far as macaroons go, it's probably the adjective, eh?

Moreish
Australia United Kingdom England
Definition:
Addictive, desireable

Usage:
They make chocolate chip cookies that are really moreish.

Explanation:
Presumably this is a corruption of the word 'more.'

Here in the U.S., sometimes we will taste something and say, "Hmmmm....that tastes like more..." and then we'll take another bite.

In regard to macaroons, I have the best ever recipe, but it's the only one I won't share because it's my signature secret!!! Sorry about that.

[bughut]

Hopefully it's not just me...Had a mental picture of a giant macaroon in a humungus 4by4 dropping off her little macaroon kiddies. He he!

Sooo... U have a macaroon secret Chefpeon The mind boggles! One is intrigued ... I can only imagine... Smoked mackerel perhaps... Maybe a lightly poached egg to replace the glace cherry... Do share.

Hmm....this may require a weekend getaway to Port Townsend....

[bughut]

OOps! sorry chefpeon. I didnt mean that to sound cheeky, I was in a silly mood last night

[chefpeon]
