The editors at the Oxford English Dictionary are completely out to lunch!* Or at least they must have been hungry when they put together the latest list of words to add to the official roster of the English language, the OED. Here are six of the newest, tastiest words to add to your English vocabulary, hot off the grill:

banh mi
A Vietnamese sandwich with French roots, this usually refers to a baguette that has been sliced lengthwise and filled with pickled and fresh vegetables, a slice of pork liver pâté or roasted pork (or both), mayonnaise, chili sauce, and cilantro.

gremolata
This Italian mixture of finely chopped parsley, garlic, and lemon zest often is found sprinkled on veal dishes such as osso bucco.

kleftiko
In Greece, they marinate whole lamb legs and shoulders in garlic and lemon juice, and then bake them slowly in a covered dish until the meat is falling off the bone. Stinygiasou!

rugelach
A sweet treat from the European Jewish tradition, this pastry consists of a rich dough rolled around a filling of chopped fruit, nuts, or jam, and shaped into a crescent form.

rumble-de-thumps (or rumbledethumps)
Similar to the British bubble and squeak, or the Irish champ or colcannon, this is a dish of cabbage, onion, and mashed potatoes baked in the oven and topped with cheese (usually cheddar).

taquito
Put some banda or musica Tejana on the radio while you’re enjoying these crisp-fried corn tortillas rolled around a shredded meat filling (they’re also known as flautas).

We hope you’ve worked up an appetite to explore more words from around the world! We’ll have more new words from the OED in future posts.

* “out to lunch” is a phrase that can mean “daydreaming, preoccupied”
