Food-Related Metaphors.

[The Anarresti]

I've got P.E.A.C.H.es and Copypasta. What've you got?

I've got P.E.A.C.H.es and Copypasta. What've you got?

Sauce?

This is not something I EVER thought I'd post anywhere... It's more of a misspelling, but is the same type as copypasta.

[Jack Squat]

Those aren't really metaphors, the first one's an acronym and the second one's just a cutesy misspelling.

That being said, I have no food-related metaphors that can be repeated here.

[snoopy13a]

As easy as apple pie.

Oh wait, that's a similie :smallsmile:

[KuReshtin]

Like shooting fish in a barrel.

What...? Fish is a food.

[Zaggab]

Swedish has the slightly weird saying "som grädden på moset", which literally means "like the cream on the mashed potatoes". (Which is also really a simile, but whatever)

I can't remember the English version of that idiom right now, so I'll just leave it like that.

[The Extinguisher]

This thread has no metaphors at all! I'm so confused.


The whole premise of this thread is Jell-O.




Very shaky.

[Tirian]

Just to demonstrate that there ARE food-related analogies that aren't similes, there is a wealth of terms of endearment that are foods. Honey, Sugar, Cupcake, Pumpkin, which are metaphors between the sweetness of one's disposition and sweet foods.

[Amiel]

You could possibly use "would you like fries with that?" to mean "are you sure?" :smalltongue:

This is absolutely something I'm going to have to try out one day. Thanks for the tip :smallbiggrin:

[llamamushroom]

Admittedly, it's a simile, but I've always been fond of "as fruitless as Cottee's jam."

No need to be sour-grapes about it. :smallbiggrin:

[Archonic Energy]

talk about putting all your eggs in one basket!

[Brewdude]

Don't make me PANCAKE your MELONS into your MUFFIN top, HONEY. This big hunk of CHOCOLATE love thinks this thread is CHERRY. I'm afraid the KIWI won't be making it as his LEMON's radiator pulled a MENTOS-DIET COKE demonstration. How can you CREAM over a BANANA Republic native like him anyway?

[The Anarresti]

You really HAMed it up there, brewdude.

[jlvm4]

Would you like some ______ with your _______? Usually inverting the proper order of things, to imply some sort of odd behavior.

For example, would you like a little cereal with your milk? or would you like some potatoes with your butter?

[Crimmy]

JLVM, you better do something about your avvie. Image theft, origianl image edition and no thanks to the original creators are frowned upon.

Also, here I thought I would see things like "Women are like sardine. The tinier it is, the better the quality".

Or: "Swiss cheese is weird. When you have more of it, it has more holes in it. If it has more holes in it, you have less of it. Therefore, the more you have, the less you have."

I was totally singing that song in my head while reading this.... good times. good times.

[Brewdude]

You want some WHINE with that cheese?
You want some CHEESE with that WHINE?
It's not all PEACHES and CREAM coming up with these PLUM metaphors. I might as well CLAM up before her MILKSHAKE brings all the boys in the yard.

I like PIE. (it's hard to do more without getting positively filthy)

[Dvandemon]

Hm...the french word for potato is pomme de terre. Now the word for apple is pomme and terre means earth. So the french word for potato literally translates the "Apple of the earth

[Dihan]

A few idioms:

Speak with a plum in your mouth
Cream of the crop
Apple of your eye
Piece of cake
Nutty as a fruitcake

[Keld Denar]

I prefer "I'm on it like a hobo on a ham sammich".

I dunno why, it just rolls off the tongue.

[Asta Kask]

Swedish:
Like a cat around hot porridge.
Up like the sun, down like a pancake.

[waterpenguin43]

Awesomesauce, of course.

[Dvandemon]

Nuttier than squirrel poo? :smallsmile:

[Kobold-Bard]

You're crackers/nuts/eggplant.

That was cheesy, this is fishy.

I'll kebab you!! :smallfurious:

Admittedly they aren't metaphors (I think, I'm not sure), bu they're still food based.

[SweetLikeLemons]

This really isn't my cup of tea. Whoever started this thread must be a real bad apple. Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. I am so cheesed off that I am tempted to go get pickled, but I really should go earn some bread. I guess I am waffling, but it is a tough nut to crack. That job is a real plum.

[Trog]

Cool beans.
