I'm curious about how many food related (or almost related)
sayings/slang/phrases there are out there. I'm thinking along the lines
of curried favors, or "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the
kitchen." Any others you can think of?

It was first, you can't eat your cake and have it too. The have your
cake and eat it too version showed up later, doesn't make as much sense
as the first, but somehow stuck.

In a pickle.
In a jam
You're toast
One hot tomato (or potato)
That's just ducky
.... is as thick as pea soup
My brain is fried or scrambled
Aw, that's sweet
You're nuts
Feel like I've been through a meat grinder
to butter someone up
he's a chicken
to goose someone
pepper it in here, give it some mustard (baseball)


That's enough for now... someone elses turn

when you make it again.

Just for the record, "curry favor" came into usage long before the
Indian-food meaning of "curry" came into the English vernacular.

The expression "curry favor" comes from the Middle English phrase "currayen
favel," which means "brush a chestnut horse with a currycomb."

(I haven't been following this thread, so I apologize if someone else
already mentioned that.)

Thanks for the linguistics lesson. I already knew that, which was
why I said almost related, though perhaps that wasn't clear enough.
Anyway, it wouldn't make sense that curried favor was about a spice
mixture, because that would be spice mixtured favor.

However, it only took, what 16 posts before someone had to trot out
their superior knowledge? I wonder what took so long.

Thank you to all who have responded, please keep them coming.

Ranee (who is enjoying this thread quite a bit)

and....."She's some tomato!"
dropped it like a hot potato
spilled the beans
she's really in a stew
he's a real string bean
nice buns!
that's so cheesy
he's making plenty of bread
what a gravy train

If I've repeated anyone's saying, it's because I didn't go back through the
