Crazy crazy English vocabulary and slang! You’ve learned your basic foods in English, but now it’s time to get CRAZY! In English, we’ve named a lot of our food after parts of our body. No, we aren’t cannibals! As you’ll learn in the lesson, we’ve given these names to our foods because they look like certain body parts—in some cases we’ve even named our body parts because they look like food…I know! Crazy!
This fun lesson will teach you 10+ strange names we use for foods, including: heads of lettuce, artichoke hearts, finger foods, ears of corn, hamburger buns, and many more!
Thanks Ronnie!!
It´s funny, but most of the vocabulary is exactly the same in Spanish XD

Hi Ronnie:
Well, some of these examples do exist in Spanish (particularly here in Argentina). The one I don’t know if exists in USA or Canada is “Huevos (eggs)” to refer to testicles. In Argentina it’s used when football (soccer for USA) fans refer to their team or to a particular player. For example: if the team loses, they shout: “PONGAN HUEVOS” (meaning: “try to play harder” or, by contrary, if a player plays really great, they say “ESTE SI QUE PONE HUEVOS” (meaning: “this man plays hard, he feels the game”).
Thanks & greets from Argentina (Hope it is from England someday)

Once in a blue moon, I would think about this stuff if I were mad and very crazy but this slang is very funny, we can enjoy it but it isn’t used usually, it’s the first time I have listened to these words and expressions. Telling a joke,…What does “be a Vegetarian Cannibal” mean? Would they be people who eat the palm of the hands and the sole of the feet, wouldn’t they? Would it be possible? Listening to this lesson I have remembered and learned expressions like to tread on somebody’s corns, corn-poppy, Indian corn, corn on the cob, meatball, maggot, nappy, dummy, pacifier, teat, lollipop, to have somebody in the palm of one’s hand, to have somebody eating out of the palm of one’s hand, to be pie-eyed, it’s pie in the sky, because they are learned as easy as pie, and so on. Thanks a lot, teacher Ronnie, yet I am laughing with this topic.

I am wondering where your accent is from Ronnie. You sound either Canadian or American, though also I detect another accent underneath.
De bloomen bos
Ronnie is Canadian, but there are many regional accents in Canada. Maybe that’s what you’re hearing?

Oh, I should add that I think your lessons are awesome.

Hi Ronnie!
Your video is great fun.
I’d like to say a thing about “orecchiette”.
In Italian “chi” is like “key” and not “cheek”. The pronunciation of “orecchiette” is
“ore-key-ette”.
Ciao

In Japanese, potato eyes are called “me”. The word “me” has both meaning of a bud and also an eye. Coincidentally, English and Japanese have kind of same or similar idea about potato eyes.

Hello, Ronnie.
In Ukrainian language we also have something like eyes of potatoes and head of cabbage. But other word combinations were strange and interesting for me. Thank you.

Hey Ronnie, thanks for the lesson. Isn’t it a ‘wIEner’ you were talking about?
Love your charisma. Cheers!

“Wiener” is the original and most common spelling—from the city of Wien (Vienna). But “ie” and “ei” are frequently confused in English—there aren’t really consistent rules for when to use one or the other, and sometimes they are pronounced the same way. So many people spell it “weiner”, or even “weener”. E. g. a funny nickname for dachshunds is “weenie dogs”.
