This article delves into fascinating exploration of phrasological units, expressions focusing on food related idioms in both English and Uzbek. Through a comparative analysis, it seeks to unravel the cultural nuances embedded in these idiomatic expressions, examining how each language uses culinary metaphors to convey meaning. The linguistic journey infolds with insights into well-known English idioms like “ Piece of cake”, “Bring home a bacon”,” Like  two peas in a pod”, “as sweet as honey”, “ Have a sweet tooth’, juxtaposed with their Uzbek equivalents, such as “ Xamirdan qil sug’urgandek oson”, “ non topmoq”, “ Ikki tomchi suvdek”,  “asaldek shirin”,  and “ shirintomoq bo’lmoq”.
