"Eaten bread is soon forgotten" = miếng bánh mới ăn đã chóng quên -> nghĩa là phê phán người khi được người khác giúp đỡ nhưng lại vô ơn, thậm chí phản lại người đã giúp mình; 'ăn cháo đái bát'.

Ví dụ
The benefits (lợi ích) provided by political stability (ổn định chính trị) in this country have shown themselves in the way the parties of Government have handled Brexit, the Covid emergency, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the cost of living crisis. However, eaten bread is soon forgotten and they will have to show similar levels of commitment (cam kết) and boldness (dũng cảm) to deal with the apparently intractable housing crisis.

For the clubs back home, eaten bread is soon forgotten and they just simply cannot compete with that.

Eaten bread is soon forgotten, they say. It applies to me in some instances (tình huống), I'm afraid. I should stress I am not talking about ever taking for granted the wonderful hospitality afforded me by so many. Instead, I'm applying the old adage to cars.
