Abstract
There are a number of words and phrases associated with eating and food consumption that are used today the origins of which are generally unknown to many. In the list that follows the meaning of some of those in common use is described, and the historic derivation is included where this is available. It will be observed that some of the words and expressions are applied literally but that more often than not they are used figuratively.
