From Scratch to Bigger Fish: Unpacking the Food-related Expressions We Use

Welcome to our You Are What You Eat collection! Here, we've compiled a list of food-related idioms and sayings that not only reflect our relationship with food but also offer some helpful advice. So, let's dig in!

First of all, we have Eat Like a Horse. Now, we're not suggesting you start chowing down on hay and oats, but this saying is meant to convey that someone has a hearty appetite. And if that's you, don't worry! It just means you need to make sure you're getting enough of the right kinds of food to fuel your body.

Next, we have Bite off More Than You Can Chew. This one is pretty self-explanatory. If you try to take on more than you can handle, you might end up feeling overwhelmed and defeated. So, take things one bite at a time and tackle what you can handle.

Moving on, we have Cooking from Scratch. This is a great way to ensure you know exactly what's going into your food. Plus, you get the satisfaction of knowing you made it yourself. Just be prepared for the occasional burnt dish or kitchen disaster.

Next, we have You Are What You Eat. If you're anything like us, you might be worried that this means you're 50% pizza and 50% ice cream. But in all seriousness, what we eat affects our overall health and wellbeing. So, if you want to feel good, you need to fuel your body with healthy and nutritious food.

And last but not least, we have Have Bigger Fish to Fry. This saying is often used to indicate that there are more important things to worry about than a particular issue. But if you're actually cooking fish, make sure you don't burn it!

So, there you have it! A collection of food-related sayings that offer some helpful advice and a bit of humour. Remember, you are what you eat, so make sure you're fuelling your body with the right kinds of food. And if you bite off more than you can chew, just take a deep breath, regroup, and try again. Happy eating!
