This is why I say yum yum and jam and cream or just yum yum
isn`t a yum yum some sort of doughnut?

A yum yum is a long twisty cake which tastes of doughnut.

I used to work with a Nigerian man who regularly ate several for breakfast.

I'm supposed to be taking a lovely OB sailing tomorrow with her two current Blue daughters down from half term - I've got such a revoltingly off-putting cold! Oh dear!
