Food Idioms 🔒

This 12-question quiz serves up English idioms where every missing word is a kind of food.

You fill in sentences like Jacob is a couch ___. He sits in front of the TV all day long. and Watching horror movies is not her cup of ___., so it is a tasty way to pick up common phrases.

These expressions are a great example of how idioms hide their meaning, since the food word usually has nothing to do with eating at all.

It works well alongside conversation practice for intermediate learners.

Recommended level: intermediate.
