Posted by Confession: Prior to the announcement of Android 7 as Nougat, I had NEVER heard the word before. So, I went searching and asking, “What is nougat?” Whatever it is, you will find it delicious and tasty.
What is Nougat?
I asked Google first (I mean, who else?), “What is nougat?”, the first result described nougat as: “a sweet made from sugar or honey, nuts, and egg white”.
Wikipedia has this to say about the subject: “Nougat is a family of confections made with sugar or honey, roasted nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, and macadamia nuts are common), whipped egg whites, and sometimes chopped candied fruit. The consistency of nougat is chewy, and it is used in a variety of candy bars and chocolates.”

Sane here. And I also went to check the WordWeb Dictionary.
Additionally, I didn’t know the meaning of the following too, before Google decided to enrich my vocabulary.
