Loukoumas (pronounced lu-ku-MAS) is a popular deep fried Greek pastry comparable to a doughnut. The plural is loukoumades. It is made of dough coated with honey and cinnamon. Sesame is often added for extra flavour.
There is also a Greek saying Eisai megalos loukoumas! ("you are a big loukoumas"), which is used when the speaker wants to offend somebody by calling him or her stupid.
