FOOD AGAIN - and food-related expressions

This is not obsession, really it's not. It's just that food seems to pop up in slang and popular expressions more than any other group of words....

Pasta:   Pasta like macaroni and spaghetti    and    money

Pavo:   Turkey   and slang word for the euro-coin. A "pavo" used to be a 100 peseta coin, using it for the euro-coin is inflation itself as a euro is something like 166 pesetas.

Partise un piñon:      Share a pine nut, used to say people are close, more often in business or politically than personally. Most usual construction:   Esos dos están a partirse un piñon.

Buenas migas:     good crumbs, another way to say people are close, though this one can be friendship as well  business.  Most usual construction: Esos dos hacen buenas migas.

Seta:   wild mushroom    and   mountaineer slang for the top flap of a backpack, usually with a small storage pouch.

Berza:   a kind of cabbage    and   someone or something that is tedious and not-too-intelligent
