Only if you are Mexican will you understand these 5 typical food phrases

Mexicans are quite creative, there's no denying that. We invite new ways to eat, joke, annoy, and even speak. We have phrases that surprise in any other place in the world, and our analogies and double meanings often only make sense to us. These five phrases demonstrate that when speaking like true Mexicans with foreigners, there will be a need to translate and explain. “I'll eat you like groceries” Meaning: Someone is taking advantage of you, someone is robbing you, or even deceiving you right in your face. Let's say this one makes a bit more sense. Recipe: Goat cheese and peach salad “Crack like a green bean” Meaning: When we refer to someone exploding or getting angry, we say they crack like a green bean, just that crunchy. Recipe: Green beans with pine nuts “You're strawberry” Meaning: When someone is a bit snobbish or boastful, they can be described as strawberry. Why is it said like that? We don't know, but there are other ways to say it in the world, like in Puerto Rico: “You think you're the last soda in the desert.” Recipe: Strawberry tarts “I crave a gringa” Meaning: No, it's not what many think, and it's not an insult to our northern neighbors, but a taco al pastor with cheese that is loved by all the capital residents living in Mexico City. Recipe: Tacos al pastor “Like water for chocolate” Meaning: This title of a novel and movie has a lot of depth. It's not just that the main character in the story cooks very well, but she, fed up with her surroundings, is like this, “like water for chocolate”: ready to boil. Recipe: Traditional hot chocolate
