Добро пожаловать обратно в модуль Business English Pod на сегодняшний урок business English idioms related to food.

Food is an important part of life and culture. And even when we’re not eating, or talking about food, it slips into our conversation in the form of idioms. What do I mean when I sayidiom?” I mean special expressions where one thing actually means another. Например, we have the idiomto go bananas,” which has nothing at all to do with bananas. It meansto go crazy.

English has idioms that come from specific foods, like bananas, butter, bacon, and bread. We also have English idioms that come from meals or use the wordfooditself. Some of these idioms describe people and activities, while others describe situations, relationships, and ideas. Learning how to use these idioms can really helpspice upyour conversation in English.
