Say What? The proof of the pudding is in the eating / Don't teach your grandmother to suck eggs

[chiroho]

In this week's Say What? our two sayings are both food related but are very different in their meanings. To help demonstrate their use I'll be using characters from Person of Interest in my examples.

I honestly never knew what the "teaching you're granny to suck eggs" meant. I think I found the idea of sucking eggs so disgusting that I never pursued it. But the first one I have always heard as, "the proof is in the pudding." Wonderful how even our sayings evolve.
