A SAMPLER OF FOOD PHRASES Cool as a cucumber: Even on a warm day, a field cucumber stays about 20 degrees cooler than the outside air. This saying has been around since the 1700s. Bring home the bacon: The Dunmow Flitch Trials, an English tradition that started in 1104, challenged married couples to go one year without arguing. The winners took home a “flitch” (a side) of bacon. Spill the beans: In ancient Greece, the system for voting new members into a private club involved secretly placing colored beans into opaque jars. Prospective members never knew who voted for or against them - until the beans were spilled. Cook your goose: In 1560, a town attacked by the Mad King of Sweden, Eric XIV, hung up a goose-
a symbol of stupidity - in protest. The furious king threatened, “I’ll cook your goose.” In a pickle: From the old Dutch phrase de pikel zitten, which means to sit in a salt solution used for preserving pickles - sure to be an uncomfortable situation. Happy as a clam: The original phrase was “happy as a clam at high tide.” Because clam diggers are able to gather clams only at low tide, the clams are much safer (and happier) when the tide is high and the water is too deep to wade into. Take the cake: The phrase originated at cakewalk contests, where individuals would parade and prance in a circle to the audience’s delight. The person with the most imaginative swagger would take home first prize, which was always a cake.
