Hello everyone and welcome back to English with Lucy.

Today i’m going to talk to you about food-related phrasal verbs. Very exciting. Very delicious. I recently went fitting out with a foreign friend and they were struggling with some of the phrasal verbs that I was using. So, I thought it was going to be extra, extra useful for you guys. Quickly before we get started this video is going to help you with your vocabulary your speaking and your listening skills it will help with your reading and writing as well.

So, first let’s talk about eating.

Number one is to pig out to pig out and this means to eat a lot of food all at once. I’m going to pig out tonight. An example would be, I meant to be on a really strict diet. But, I picked out last night.

Oops number, two - eat up - eat up means to eat all of the food that you’ve been given until it’s finished. It means to eat everything. For example, come on eat your food up or you’ll be hungry. This one is normally more directed at children.

Number three - pick it something. To pick it something means to unwillingly eat a small amount of food. so, maybe you’re not hungry. So, maybe you don’t feel well. it’s often considered rude to pick it your food. Oh, I’m a poet and I didn’t even realize it. For example, are you feeling all right you’ve been picking at your food for age is?

Number four to cut out, if you are cutting out a specific food or a food group. It means you are eliminating it from your diet. For example, sorry, no cake for me I am cutting out sugar.

Number five is very similar to cut back. But you’re not eliminating foods, you are just reducing the amount of a specific food or food group that you’re eating or maybe you’re just cutting back on food in general and just a note with the prepositions you usually cut back on something. for example, my doctor told me I need to cut back on fat.

Number six to bolt down, if you bolt down or wolf down your food it means you eat it all really, really quickly. For example, I wolf down my breakfast this morning. Because I had no time.

Let’s move on to the second part of the video which is cooking and preparing food.

Number seven to whip up. This means to prepare a meal very quickly or with a little effort. For example, here we are something I whipped up yesterday.

Number eight, to cut up this means to cut into pieces. You want me to cut up your food for you?

Number nine only slightly different, this is to chop up and it’s different. Because chop means to cut something with sharp blows. So, you’d normally chop up something hard like vegetables or fruit. For example, if you cut the pie up I’ll chop up the vegetables.

Number ten to boil over. This means to cause liquid to overflow during boiling. For example, can you run and get the peas I think they’re boiling over.

Number eleven to warm up. This just means to heat. For example, do you want me to warm up your dinner for you when you get home?

And the last one number twelve to fry up and this just means to cook something by frying.
