I have sort of a random question!
I have been seeing the phrase ‘nom, nom, nom, nom’ all over the blogosphere lately. Does anyone know where it originated? Also, what does it mean? It is just supposed to be the sound of someone eating good food…really fast?? lol. :mrgreen: Please tell me I’m not the only one who has wondered about this!! I’m not so great with blogging lingo…
I had to laugh because the other day I was reading nom, nom, nom and I realized that I make this totally WEIRD noise in my head when I read it. I’M. SO. WEIRD. Seriously..!
It goes like this
‘NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM’
and I say it really fast in my head. hahahaha. Ok, moving on to less embarrassing things…
I made another batch of the In A Jiffy Spelt Veggie burgers. I doubled the batch this time because the last two were gone…in a day. I’ve been known to eat 4 patties at once, straight out of the oven. To which Eric replies, ‘Ahhh are you going to save me any…?’
I had two slices of Ezekiel bread with tomato paste (sup, Lycopene!), hummus, and tomatoes:
This patty = Love.
Fountaine Santé Hummus = Love.
I forgot to mention that I got a new book called Super Eating by Ian Marber.
Basically, in a nutshell the book is about how all kinds of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients interact with one another and either enhance or diminish the absorption of another. For example, take vitamin C and D with calcium to enhance calcium absorption. It really makes me see my food in a new way and to think about ways I can maximize the nutrients from my food. I’ve been up until midnight the past couple nights reading it! I LOVE reading non-fiction health books. It is pretty much all I read. I used to be pretty crazy over fiction when I was younger though…I think I should get back into it one of these days!
I will have to do a post on the book soon…It’s amazing.
My Aunt’s vegan lasagna that she made for me Sunday (I need to get the recipe stat!) It had mushrooms, spinach, onion, tomato, broccoli, etc.
Dessert was a huge bowl of cantaloupe…literally. ;) With a dollop of soy yogurt. I need to buy cantaloupe more often. They are one of my favourite fruits by far!
See you tomorrow for my Spring Training Plan! I have lots to say, so rest those eyeballs up. 8-O I believe it is also time for the WMM2 closing ceremonies!
OFF TO WATCH 24!!!!!
PS- OMG I posted 3 times today!!!! Whoa. I’m taking a week off now. JK :mrgreen:
It originated from an LOLcat picture on I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER.com. It’s the sound a kitty makes when he’s munching on his food!
hshahahahah omg this makes it even better
pic???
I was going to say this exactly!!
This was the original one, I think:

Where it all started!
oh wow. I should not be laughing this much
I wondered the same thing! I always assumed it was the sound someone makes when they’re eating. but i’ve never made that sound when I eat haha
Om nom nom to those burgers! ;-) YUM!
I will probably think of your pronunciation of “nomnomnomnomnomnomnom” from now on… Haha. I say it in a big, deep, voice, and picture myself shoving my face in a plate of food like I just can’t eat the deliciousness fast enough… (Um, that’s embarrassing, but… It’s true. Not true that I really DO that, but true that that’s the visual I get…)
OMG, that is what I think of too!!
Hahaha. That’s so funny! I’m glad I’m not alone. :)
I think of it as the sound Cookie Monster makes while inhaling cookies. Definitely associated with pleasure. You wouldn’t NOM NOM NOM a big chunk of liver, for example.
LOL this made me laugh so hard
cookie monster is the “nom nom nom” OG! the original gangsta
LOOK WHAT I FOUND!

This is hilarious! Cannot stop laughing.
OMG yessss!
That was surprisingly funny for an adult. Man, I gotta watch more Sesame Street!
LOL! I lovvvvveeeee me some nom nom LOL cats :-) One of my favorite sites EVER! Between “nom” and “teh interwebs”, I think I speak LOLcat pretty well.
I say it when something is really nummmy :-) I also say it in my head slowly.
Kind of luck yum, yum, yum … but instead, nom nom nom.
I thought it was the noise Cookie Monster made on Sesame Street when he attacked a big pile of cookies haha… or, that’s what I picture in my head when I read it! :P
I believe Mr. Homer Simpson (see generally: The Simpsons) says nom nom nom when he is chowing donuts. At least, that is what I always thought.
LOL – “why me not get royalties on this.”
The first time I saw it on the blogs was from Caitlin.
haha I use “nom.nom.nom” when no real word can describe how good something is. haha :) And those veggie spelt burgers look sooooo good.
ooooooh that is an awesome dinner! Loving it!
So, the dinnertime oats eventuated with your suggested toppings and while the pasta sauce.hummus combo seemed a little weird on paper, it was SO good! And you’re right . . very filling! Definitely going to be making some more of these. Have you got any other toppings to suggest??? :)
ok im so happy you addressed the whole nomnomnom thing. it’s always sort of thrown me off, too haha
Haha, I love this discussion. I’ve always thought that it just meant that something was really good!
I’m with you on the cantaloupe front. During the summer I love to mix a yogurt mess and place it in the center of half of a melon. So refreshing!
Hahahaha, nomnomnom – too funny! I’m not much one for lolcats, but failblog.org pretty much makes my day, every day. :)
