Gastronomic idioms serve as a profound linguistic lens through which cultural identities, social practices, and collective worldviews are revealed. This comparative study explores the rich tapestry of food-related expressions in English and Uzbek languages, demonstrating how these linguistic phenomena transcend mere communication to become intricate cultural artifacts that reflect deep-rooted societal values, beliefs, and interpersonal dynamics.
