Plumbs

The dense, floury blobs that form in baked goods, such as banana bread, when one did not mix the batter like they meant it.

Plumbs are often caused by under-stirring, overconfidence, or existential flour rebellion.

The term plumbs was historically coined by a well-meaning, Italian, who, in a moment of pure linguistic jazz, confused lumps with plumbs while trying to describe the unfortunate texture of his banana bread.
“Stefano, there are plumbs in it! Not plumbs. Lumbs? You know — the batter didn't mix!!”

“This banana bread has plumbs the size of Italian balls. Stir it more furiously next time!”

“He said they were chocolate chips. I was foolish by trusting him. The moment my teeth hit plumbs, flour was exploding in my mouth.”
