Today we’re going to talk about idioms that come from foods. We ll take a peek into history, traveling all the way back to ancient Rome. Some of these foods may be more appetizing than others: We cover everything from cake to liver.
1. Take it with a Grain of Salt.
Our first food idiom is to “take it with a grain of salt,” which means to accept something but to be somewhat skeptical of the information. [1] For example, if you re unsure about a relative s knowledge of the stock market, you might say, “I took his financial advice with a grain of salt.”

nor usually follows a
neither when they re used in the same sentence (1). For example, you might say, “I like neither hot dogs nor mustard.” You may also use
nor if you’re talking about more than two items, but you must repeat
nor after each element (2). So if you want to add ketchup to your list of dislikes, you have to say, “I like neither hot dogs nor mustard nor ketchup.” It would be incorrect to use an
or anywhere in that sentence or to leave out either case of
nor.
Neither can appear at the beginning of a sentence as well as the middle. For example, “Neither the man nor the woman is a good surfer” is nice and balanced.
