Since this month
we´ve been talking to you about food we´re going to include some idioms that
have to do with food. As you may know an idiom is an expression which cannot be
understood literally or by the separate meaning of its words. They are understood
by the native speakers of the language, but with much more difficulty by non
native speakers. Every
language has them.
Here are a few:
· A piece
of cake
· Fresh as a cucumber
·
Not my cup of tea
·
Cry
over spilt milk
·
Don´t put all your eggs in one basket
·
Bite off more than you can chew
·
Apple
of my eye
·
Variety is the spice of life
·
Smell
something fishy
Do you think you can find out what they mean?
