There are many examples of food idioms that are used in the English language.
Each team will have food and health related idioms starting with a specific letter.
Your task is to find the equivalent in your mother tongue, if there is one and see if the meaning is the same as it is in English.
Then, you must give, if possible, another example of a saying, proverb or idiom starting with the same letter/s and explain its meaning.
