Words that don't exist in English but definitely should:
(which all happen to have to do with food)

Kummerspeck (German) When you eat because you're stressed (stressed is dessert spelled backwards). This word means the weight you gain from emotional eating.

Shemomedjamo (Georgian) Legit means "I accidentally ate the whole thing." AKA story of my life. Georgians feel my pain.

Pelinti (Buli, Ghana) Do you ever take a bite of something then soon realize it's wayy to hot? This word describes the "Argghhh" noise you make as you try to move the food around your mouth. It translates to "To move hot food around in your mouth."

Palegg (Norwegian) The Norwegians have created a word to describe anything you can put on a sandwich. Yup - Pb n J, Turkey, Nutella, you name it. (I'm not sure exactly how badly we need this word, but you never know).

Lagom (Swedish) The word that means 'not tooo much, but not tooo little'. I'll use this next time I need lagom toppings, dressings, you name it, on food!
