Food Idioms

Annop Akaranithiyanont, president of an association of egg farmers, said it had not done anything yet while waiting to see how the government will resolve the |problem after small farmers submitted a complaint on Tuesday.
"The policy was formulated in mid-2010," Mongkol said. "During the floods last year, these chicks continued to grow and became hens in mid-2012. The number of eggs will likely peak early next year. From now to the end of this year, we will experience a loss of more than Bt10 billion or Bt100 per hen."
The association agreed with small farmers on the egg oversupply and requested government support, he said. It could come in the form of a pledging scheme or, in the worse case, a plant for powdered eggs.
There are about 40 million eggs supplied to the market per day and about 30,000-40,000 layer-hen farmers after new players entered the industry.
Farmers cannot cover their cost of Bt2.60 per egg, as big eggs sell for Bt2.30-Bt2.40 each and medium sizes at Bt2.20.
The established egg farmers have been able to sell their produce as they have customers in hand, while the newcomers may not be able to sell anything, Annop said.

Egg farmers are waiting for the government to give them solutions, which may include control of breeding stock. If they did not receive any help from the government, the association will make a move, he said.

Bringing Home the Bacon on the Gravy Train

What do you think these expressions mean?

Bob works hard to bring home the bacon¹, and put bread and butter² on his family's table. Every morning, he drags himself to his desk at the bank and faces his tedious 10-hour-a-day job. His boss, Mark, is a bad egg³ but has somehow taken a liking to Bob so he always speaks well of Bob in front of Mr. Davies, the owner and big cheese⁴ of the company. Mark tells Mr. Davies that Bob's the cream of the crop⁵ and is one smart cookie⁶ who uses his noodles⁷. Mark likes to chew the fat⁸ with Bob during coffee break and discusses half-baked⁹ company plans with him because he trusts Bob and knows that Bob won't spill the beans¹⁰ behind his back. On these occasions, Bob tries to avoid any hot potatoes¹¹ and, even if Mark isn't his cup of tea¹², Bob makes an effort to butter him up¹³by leading Mark into discussions about electronic gadgets which Mark is nuts about¹⁴. Bob really thinks that Mark is out to lunch¹⁵ andnutty as a fruitcake¹⁶, but in a nutshell¹⁷, if he polishes the apple¹⁸, his job could become a piece of cake¹⁹ and maybe one day he will find his gravy train²⁰.

This is definitely an exaggerated use of idiomatic expressions. But you can see how these expressions make spoken informal language much more colourful and jovial. 

Here are some non-food idiom expressions which you can use to substitute the food idioms
