"Hunger is the best sauce" = Đói bụng là nước chấm ngon nhất -> Đói bụng thì ngon cơm, khi đói ăn gì mà chẳng ngon miệng.
Ví dụ
I was surrounded by coffee, a flatulent (đầy hơi) squeeze (hắt xì) bottle of mustard (mù tạc) and observations. There were no lumps (cục, miếng) in the recipe (công thức nấu ăn). The food was good, but it didn’t need to be. I was hungry. Cervantes said, “Hunger is the best sauce in the world.”
It could be argued that this is why sea swimming, particularly in cold waters, can be an especially effective way to maintain a healthy weight, even while increasing our appetite (sự thèm ăn, sự ngon miệng). Besides, it’s common knowledge that hunger is the best sauce for any meal.
“Hunger is the best sauce” is one of the oldest cliches (câu nói sáo, rập khuôn) in the book, and one of the truest. Food eaten when our appetite is at a peak is food we can remember with vivid clarity, and is not just another trip to the trough (máng ăn).
