nummy

So very scrumptious

Nummy is childish or playful slang for yummy—delicious or tasty: These cookies are nummy.

The word mimics baby talk, substituting the easier *n* sound for *y*.

Adults use it affectionately or ironically, often when talking to children or pets, or when being deliberately cute about food.
