Re: Re: Food oriented metaphors

[Guest guest]

This is one I discovered a long time ago and hear myself say it when I have too many things to do  " my plate is full " .

 

There are so many food/eating related sayings! How about -

* Sinking my teeth into something.

* Taking a bite out of ...

* I'm fed up with ...

And I'm sure that are oodles more. This could be a fun exercise - hope others will add to the list :-) - Katcha

This is fun. Is somebody keeping track of these, a list? Sandy

 

And -

* chewing/ruminating on something (as in pondering)

* choking on . . .

* simmering on . . .
