Phrase: Put food on the table
Yesterday’s post was bring home the bacon.
In that post, I said that ‘bring home the bacon’ means that a worker brings home their salary to the family.
Today’s idiom put food on the table means the same thing.
Every person who is employed is working to put food on the table.
As an example, I come from a traditional family.
My father worked to put food on the table, and my mother stayed home to look after their five children.
