I saw one menu in France that said "Liche au sirop" (instead of lichee), which in english would be "Syrup Lich".
For those of you not familiar with the word, in fantasy a Lich is usually a very powerful undead sorcerer. Not the kind of things you'd enjoy eating with syrup ....

I'm a bit curious about the exact meaning of SHUMs.
I have a general grasp of it, due to meeting it several times in a similar context, but I'd like to know a bit more, if possible.
