Parola del giorno | Word of the day
I have an entire collection of “expressions which in Italian involve food but in English do not,” over 60 of them at last count. One other is also from PdG: “dice pane al pane e vino al vino” (meaning “tell it like it is.”)
I had a book I bought several years ago on food idioms; I need to dig it up! That's also a good example!
