English Idioms - Food idioms

Today, I’m just going to do a short video on idiomatic expressions, involving eating habits. idioms are sentences which do not take on their literal meaning. So, my first example sentence I could eat a horse, doesn’t actually mean you will eat a whole horse. it just means that you feel very, very hungry. So, I’m so hungry. I could eat a horse. just means you know you are very hungry and you would like to eat.

My next sentence I eat like a pig. It just means that you eat a lot for food. It’s just an eating habit. So, if you see pigs eat they consume a lot they. Have their troughs and they just drove no, no, no, no, no, nom, nom they eat a whole lot of food. So, I eat like a pig, it means you just eat a lot of food.

And finally my final sentence my eyes are bigger than my stomach. It just means when you are so hungry. That you could eat a horse. Sometimes you look in the menu and you order hamburger chips or I might have steak onion rings and then sometimes you ordered too much food. When the food actually arrives, you feel not as hungry as you thought you were. So, my eyes are bigger than my stomach or my eyes are bigger than my belly. It just means you’ve ordered too much food and you cannot eat all of it.

So, the three idiomatic expressions involved in eating habits. Today I could eat a horse. It means you feel very hungry. I eat like a pig it means you eat a lot and finally my eyes are bigger than my stomach. It just means you’ve ordered too much food, and you cannot finish. That’s today’s lesson. Over. Thank you very much.
