*cumbertoothsome (adjective): cumbersome + toothsome = when food is especially delicious yet awkward, problematic or tedious to actually consume. See pomegranates, s'mores, poppycock, caramels, candy-apples, frozen bananas, chicken wings, bbq ribs, double cheeseburgers with all the fixings or, if you have braces: everything.
*Cumbertoothsomely (adverb form): how babies and toddlers eat all the time. Also how drunk people eat when they stumble home from the bar or a party: see David Hasselhoff.
THAT...was funny,. seriously, some foods are just plain difficult to maneuver.
ReplyDeletebut good!! so worth it
but combertoothsome..........good word

I have cumbertoothsome issues all the time. BBQ ribs in particular... one of my favorite foods but have to avoid them like the plague in public or I come out looking like a fool.

A perfect word for all this holiday eating. I'm going with cotton candy as a cumbertoothsome item. And corn on the cob.
ReplyDeleteI like it. My favourite cumbertoothsome food items are, Meatball subs, sherbet bombs and smokey bbq ribs.
ReplyDeleteAnything that you have to get out of a packet that takes longer than 5 seconds is cumbertoothsome as well.
I'm very impatient sometimes..lol
Oh yeah, the Hoff and that hamburger -- NOT pretty.
ReplyDeleteLike things NOT to eat on a first date! Steamed crabs where you have to crack them yourself.
ReplyDelete@Wendy You have a great Christmas too.
ReplyDelete@SD My wife loves those too.
@Nicole Good examples.
@Alittlesprite I'm going to have to research sherbert bombs.
@DSWS Yup. Disturbing.
@TGW I agree.
Okay, my head hurts now.
ReplyDeleteI love this word!! I think of fondue fitting this too. IT is so drippy messy but soo yummy.
ReplyDelete@MrsTuna Being a terrific cook, you should like this word.
ReplyDelete@KL Fondue! Exactly.
