Abstract

This article delves into the intriguing realm of food-related idioms in both Uzbek and English. Through a comparative analysis of these expressions, we can learn more about the linguistic, cultural, and historical influences that mould language and communication. Even though many food-related idioms have metaphorical meanings and common themes, the particular foods that are utilised and their accompanying implications frequently represent the distinct cultural backgrounds of each language. This investigation shows how language, culture, and history interact to shape our use of idioms in self-expression.
