Lesson 285--some more eating related vocabulary


 
When thinking about food, I would like to teach people some useful vocabulary

eating out:  going out to eat in a restaurant.  This includes fast food as well as elegant dining.

eating in:  staying home and eating.

takeout: this describes food bought at a restaurant and taken home, or taken some other place to eat.

takeout menu: some restaurants have a different menu for takeout items than they do for sit down menus.  Sometimes this includes specials, or discount meals meant for more than one person.

refills: some restaurants offer free drink refills, meaning you can drink as much or as many of the drinks you ordered.  This does not usually include alcohol.

Lesson 187--Stomach Vocabulary



In English, talking about being hungry is done with a lot of colourful expressions.

I'm hungry.
I'm starving (okay, this means really, really hungry)
My stomach is rumbling.
My stomach is growling.
I've got hunger pains.
My stomach is empty.

 

Of course, the opposite is also expressed with similarly colourful expressions.

I'm full.
I'm going to burst.
I'm ready to burst.
I never want to see food again.
My diet starts now.
