“The French use various expressions
in everyday conversations that are more or less in conjunction with food. Some
of them are funny and not just common sayings, more so colloquial and slang
that are used sometimes in fashion and sometimes not so. Examples such as à
toutes les sauces (lit: with all the sauces): in all sorts of ways, avoir une
faim de loup (to have the hunger of a wolf): to be ravenous/starving hungry,
les carottes sont cuites (lit: the carrots are cooked): I’ve had it/that’s
enough”
