Phil Is Easily Amused

NOTE: this is really a podcast (see link below) and all this verbiage is just to whet your appetite for listening.  Anyway, Let's Eat folks!  You can't see it but I've got a hot bowl of chicken sausage gumbo and a cup of coffee sitting here.  Yummmm. Very appropriate. since I'd like to exaplain a few of the phrases we use that originate with food and the table. Let's eat! or at least let's talk about som
e phrases associated with eating:

BRING HOME THE BACON - Though today this expression means either 'return with a victory' or 'brung home cash', in the 12th century actual bacon was involved.

GIVE SOMEONE THE COLD SHOULDER - means to delibertly ignore, slight, snubb or disrespect someone. "She cold shouldered her ex-fiance".  I can picture the turned head, the haughty distain and perhaps even the icy shoulder being turned to the unwelcome one.  But why do we say that?
