llambión: (pronounced yam-BYON in Central Asturian; in West Asturian, tsam-BYON), sustantivu (noun). A fondness or craving for candy and other sweets. Love of sugary foods. From the verb llamber/l.lamber (to lick).
Usage examples, in Central Asturian:
Nolo ponse llocu colos frixuelos, les casadielles y l’arroz con llechi. Ye mui llambión. (Nolo goes crazy over Asturian crepes, walnut-filled pastry and rice pudding. He has a very sweet tooth.)
A gatu llambión, corteya dura. (Folk wisdom: cats with a sweet tooth are often tough to the core.)

Usage examples, in West Asturian:
Nun sias tan l.lambiona (pronounced tsam-BYO-na) que ia malo. (Don’t eat so many sweets; it’s bad for you.)
Los nenos son mui l.lambiones (pronounced tsam-BYO-nes). The kids have a very sweet tooth.)
Prestan-y las l.lambionadas (pronounced tsam-BYO-na-das). (He likes sweet food.)

Other derived words:
llambiotada/llambiotaes, l.lambionada/l.lambionadas (sugary foods)

Forward to minute 4:00 on the Youtube clip below with Sagrario, aged 101, from Cuturrasu (County of Llangreu). Xosé Antón Ambás asks her if she’d like a coffee at the "chigre" (village tavern). She says no. Then he asks her if she’d like a piece of chocolate cake and she says: "Home, eso si!" Ambás tells her, "Ay, que llambiona yes!"

Muy buenu, el video de Ambás con Sagrario de Cuturrasu!!
Por ciertu, creo que ya vos conté aquella hestoria de como los mozos de Cuturrasu clavaron a un de La Felguera per la oreya a un árbol, pa que dexara de dir a cortexayos les moces del pueblu - avisu a navegantes - nun volvió ningún más per állí. Laughing Laughing
