Re: Food oriented metaphors

[Guest guest]

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
