Yummo? Is that a Gloucestershire word?  ;)

It embarrasses me to say that I believe it to be an American slang term meaning tasty, popularised by a TV food personality there called Rachael Ray. Oh, the shame !

In the context of food and America I have also encountered "Scrummo" - but not, as yet "Yummo-Scrummo!" Doubtless that will make an appearance ere long. But enough of this culinary diversion.

Well, looks like the Aussies started it actually, so all is forgiven. And with that........

There's some nice-sounding stuff on this CD:

Records International's description (https://www.recordsinternational.com/cd.php?cd=07T005) is interesting though they got Viardot's death date wrong (1941, not 1921- which helps explain how he could write a 3rd violin sonata in 1931, 10 years after his alleged "1921" death date. Though actually 1931 is the year it was published by Senart, according to IMSLP, not necessarily the year it was composed. ... Whatever!)

Yes, yet another clever addition to the Australian cultural lexicon. Viardot is bonza, though, 'cos it already ends in 'o'.

Viardot entirely new to me, and UC opens up yet another avenue to explore.
