and....."She's some tomato!"
dropped it like a hot potato
spilled the beans
she's really in a stew
he's a real string bean
nice buns!
that's so cheesy
he's making plenty of bread
what a gravy train

If I've repeated anyone's saying, it's because I didn't go back through the
whole thread.

I read old books, where I find, "She's one hot tomato!" and "Banana oil!"

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake
when you make it again.

Everything but the kitchen sink.
A case of the pot calling the kettle black.
A watched pot never boils.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Feed a cold, starve a fever.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
No use crying over spilt milk.
What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
A chicken in every pot.
Easy as pie.
Piece of cake.
Sweetie-pie.
You can't get blood out of a turnip.
You can't make a cake without breaking a few eggs.
Man cannot live on bread alone.
What foods these morsels be. (From the wall at Manero's Restaurant.)
The legislative process is like watching sausage being made.

I think the modern equivalent of banana oil is bullsh*t.

salt of the earth

"Rejoice, and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great,
for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become
tasteless, how will it be made salty again? It is good for
nothing anymore, except to be thrown out and trampled
under foot by men." Matthew 5:12-13

A bun in the oven (pregnant)
She walked through like she was sniffing pies in heaven (for someone who
looks proud or stuck-up)
You really toasted my buns that time
That was cheesy
Clamming up
Have your cake and eat it, too
Don't cry over spilled milk
milksop
candy-a**
cotton-candy clouds
candy-apple red
slower than molasses in January
Syrupy (voice, manner)
Sweet as sugar
Sweet as pie
Better than chocolate
Do the mashed potato
My goose is cooked
Mutton dressed up as lamb
What's your beef?
Saccharine-sweet (falsely polite person)
She's a tart (not sure how food-related this really is)
He's a beef-cake
Honey-bun, sugar-pie
Shriveled like a raisin
He's an old prune
I sunburned until I was lobster-red
He's a shrimp
I'm in a stew
Thick as pea-soup
Look at the little peanut! (for a small child)
Honey (as a term of endearment)

If that's allowed, then certainly this should be as well :

"Twas a woman who drove me to drink. I never had the courtesy to thank
her." --W.C. Fields

Anyone who says otherwise is a few tacos short of a combo plate.

"The perfect lover is one who turns into pizza at 4am."
Charles Pierce.

"Out of the frying pan, and into the fire."

Officer, your eyes are glazed, have you been eating doughnuts ?

Where's the beef ?

They F*** you at the drive-through!

Nice pate, but I've got to motor.

Did somebody spike the punchbowl?

He's milking it for all its worth.

That's not kosher with me.

A book of verse, a leg of lamb, and thou.

Sticking his head in the oven,

DUCK!!!! --as in get down fast
Coughing his cookies
Packed in like sardines
What a jam she's in
Was that joke ever corny
He's into the sauce -- booze
