Top 20 English Vocabulary Words About Food
hey when I was growing up my dad had a
special thing that he liked to do for us
on Sundays I’ll tell you more about it
at the end I’m teacher Tiffany let’s
jump right in alright today we are gonna
talk about the top English vocabulary
words specifically about food now we’re
going to use this equation right here L
plus M plus F now the L stands for learn
the word in context by reviewing
sentences so again the first thing we’re
gonna do is I want to show you the words
in context you can actually see them how
they are used in real life now you can
do this on your own by looking at
pictures and seeing different sentences
that describe the pictures or even by
looking in books now the next step is
the letter M memorize the dictionary
definition so after we see the words
used in context based on images we’re
gonna look at the dictionary definition
of each word so that we can know how to
properly use it and we’re gonna memorize
the definition now the last part of the
formula is the letter F now the letter F
stands for find three synonyms or
similar words for the word we’re looking
at okay now it’s so important to find
three synonyms because you will have
triggers or connections that will help
you remember each and every word so
let’s get started and see what our first
vocabulary word is by looking at the
picture okay now our first picture is
right here hey this looks good now
remember guys in America we have kind of
a typical breakfast now it depends on
where you go of course but pancakes are
a very big part of an American breakfast
and I love
of Pancakes so when I look at this
picture my mouth is starting to water
now let’s see a sentence let’s read a
sentence that describes this image this
picture of these pancakes we have right
here the pancakes on the plate look
scrumptious now one more time that word
may be a little bit tricky this is our
first vocabulary word after me
scrumptious
very good remember that P sound in the
middle scrumptious excellent now again
for the letter and we’re gonna memorize
the definition but for now let’s look at
the sentence and how it uses that
vocabulary word to describe the picture
the pancakes on the plate look
scrumptious alright now we see some
blueberries as well so here’s another
sentence those blueberries look juicy
and ready to eat
so again for pronunciation juicy very
good juicy excellent I’ll get look at
these blueberries it looks like you can
just squeeze them and they’ll be so
sweet in your mouth so once again
looking at the picture those blueberries
look juicy and ready to eat so this is
the first part of the equation the
letter L for learn now what we’re gonna
do is move on to the letter M memorize
so again isn’t it is the pancakes on the
plate look scrumptious
now the word scrumptious means when
you’re speaking about food extremely
tasty delicious or tasting extremely
good so growing up I can remember my
mother cooking all the time and one of
my favorite things that she made when I
was very young was banana nut bread it
was so delicious it was so tasty
it was scrumptious you got it okay so
again delicious or extremely tasty now
let’s look at some example sentences
that use the word scrumptious than you
can remember okay here we go
I ate a scrum
just breakfast very good next she made a
scrumptious cake and finally that looks
like a scrumptious apple pie okay so now
it’s making sense now remember in the
comment section I want you to try to
make your own sentence using the
vocabulary words that you learn in
today’s lesson okay all right so let’s
move on to the next vocabulary word
remember we have the next one which was
right here
juicy here’s the sentence again those
blueberries look juicy and ready to eat
so the word juicy when speaking about
food means full of juice succulent full
of juice or juices and therefore
enjoyable to eat I think I’ve told you
before that my favorite fruit is apple
all right I love apples my favorite
fruit is an apple I love apples and
they’re very juicy right so I love to
eat apples so why because they’re full
of juice when you bite into an apple
sometimes you have juice on your face or
it spurts out of your mouth right
because they are full of juice so the
blueberries looked very juicy right all
right now let’s look at three other
sentences that use this vocabulary word
okay here we go I love to eat juicy
apples I just told you that was my
favorite fruit didn’t I
all right next here we go that pear
looks really juicy and finally he likes
to eat a juicy steak every night so you
see in this last sentence we used juicy
even though we weren’t speaking about
fruit think about steak now you know I’m
a vegetarian but I have many friends
that like to eat meat and he likes steak
and when you put your fork and you’re
trying to cut it with a knife you can
see things losing out of the steak
sometimes it’s oil and other things
using out so juicy nice and plump okay
all right great job now we finished the
memorize phase now we go into the letter
F
find we’re going to once again look at
three synonyms for each of the
vocabulary words okay so the first
vocabulary word again was scrumptious on
the left side of our screen extremely
tasty delicious or tasting extremely
good so the three synonyms again on the
far left are delicious mouth-watering
and tasty
once again delicious mouth-watering and
tasty so we have the main vocabulary
word is scrumptious the three synonyms
again we have delicious mouth-watering
and finally tasty now what I’m gonna do
is show you how we can replace the word
scrumptious which each of these with
each of these words and still have a
good sentence so here we go
remember the original sentence we had
was the pancakes on the plate look
scrumptious but now we can say again on
the left side the pancakes on the plate
look delicious or the pancakes on the
plate look mouth-watering and finally
the pancakes on the plate look tasty so
now instead of one vocabulary word
you’ve learned for now let’s move to the
right side of our screen looking at the
word juicy which again means full of
juice the juicy blueberries juicy apples
okay what are three synonyms for this
word again looking at the right side of
your screen here we go moist ripe and
luscious one more time moist ripe and
that final one luscious very good one
more time
after me luscious very good now let’s
see how we can literally have the same
sentence and only replace one word with
these new words we looked at okay here
we go those blueberries look moist and
ready to eat those blueberries look ripe
and ready to eat
and finally those blueberries look very
good luscious and ready to eat
so again instead
just juicy now we know four new
vocabulary words so we have a total of
eight already okay excellent job now
let’s move on to the next group of words
so let’s go back we need to go to letter
L which is learn wait guys okay there’s
one other thing you have to know about
me I love salads my friends call me the
salad Queen because I can make a good
salad and the south in this picture man
oh man I want to eat this salad so
looking at the picture again we have
this great looking salad okay so now we
have lettuce at the top we have onions
we have olives all of these things I
love so here’s the sentence I am on a
special diet so I use a lot of raw
ingredients in my salads so the key
vocabulary word is raw one more time raw
now when I was a teacher in South Korea
many times my students would have a kind
of a hard time or difficulty using or
pronouncing the letter R okay so again
after me raw you want your tongue to
kind of be on the bottom of your mouth
raw excellent job so again the sentence
I am on a special diet so I use a lot of
raw ingredients in my salads okay
remember we’re going to find out the
definition when we go to the next part
of our formula then letter in okay so we
have one more sentence here here we go
the salad at the restaurant looked very
appetizing one more time after me this
is a long one appetizing
excellent last time appetizing very good
so again remember I was talking about oh
just how good the salad looks I can also
say the salad at the restaurant looked
I’m going to show it to you again very
appetizing okay so let’s move on to the
next part of our formula the letter M
memorize so here’s the sentence one more
time the first one I am on a special
diet
so I use a lot of raw ingredients in my
salads now the word raw speaking about
food just means uncooked not cooked or
not diluted or blended with anything so
for example I mentioned that I love
apples if I get an apple and immediately
eat it I’m eating a raw Apple I haven’t
done anything to it it’s uncooked
undiluted I haven’t done anything to it
we say it’s raw okay so let’s see three
examples and it says using this
vocabulary word here we go first one
that restaurant sells raw fish so again
think about it if you like sushi a lot
of sushi places use raw fish they finely
sliced and put on top of rice and that
is called raw fish because it’s not
cooked okay alright so again that
restaurant sells raw fish next I love
eating raw food in the morning and
finally he can’t eat raw vegetables
okay so again raw very good all right
now our next word again our next
vocabulary word was appetizing here we
go the salad at the restaurant looked
very appetizing now this word just means
stimulating ones appetite appealing to
or stimulating the appetite so again
remember I said wait the salad looks so
good mmm man I really want to eat this
salad why because it’s stimulating it’s
making me hungry looking at the picture
of the salad right
stimulating my appetite why because it
looks appetizing okay so we’re gonna
look at three examples sentences using
this vocabulary word okay so here we go
that plate of food looks appetizing next
this food looks so appetizing and
finally your food looks so appetizing
now I want to remind you don’t worry
as you’re studying you don’t have to
worry about writing notes or anything
because you can download the free PDF
that goes along with this lesson all you
have to do is click the link in the
description again all of the examples
and insists all of the definitions I
want to help you so I made a free pdf
you can download it by clicking the link
in the description ok alright so let’s
keep going learning more vocabulary
words here we go alright now we’re going
on to the find remember we’re looking
for three synonyms for each word so
we’re gonna start off on the left side
of the screen okay so here we go
raw again meaning uncooked or not cooked
so we have three synonyms uncooked
unprocessed and unrefined one more time
for pronunciation uncooked very good
unprocessed good job and finally
unrefined yeah that’s a tricky one
okay so again unrefined very good
shooting for me too that F you gotta put
your front teeth on your bottom lip so
one more time
unrefined there you go very good alright
so again those are the three synonyms
for raw so let’s see how the sentence
would change if we used each of these
words here we go I am on a special diet
so I use a lot of uncooked ingredients
in my salads next again on the left side
of your screen I’m on a special diet so
I use a lot of unprocessed ingredients
in my salads and finally I am on a
special diet so I use a lot of unrefined
ingredients in my salads okay all right
now moving on to the right side we have
appetizing again stimulating one’s
appetite now we have three synonyms
inviting tempting and heavenly yeah
interesting right again inviting
tempting and heavenly remember I’m
teaching you 20 of the most useful words
when you’re speaking about food in
English okay so we understand appetizing
inviting has the same meaning like oh I
really want to eat that
then tempting ooh mmm maybe I shouldn’t
do it but I really want to do it and
heavenly oh man I just can’t wait to eat
that salad okay so let’s see how the
sentence has changed when we use these
words here we go
first the salad at the restaurant looked
very inviting
next the salad at the restaurant looked
very tempting and finally the salad at
the restaurant looked very heavenly
alright so you see how we were able to
get three extra synonyms for each of
these words okay
now let’s continue and learn some more
we got to go back now to the first part
of the formula the letter L so we need
to see our next picture oh it’s time for
some dessert alright we started off with
pancakes for breakfast then we had a
salad for lunch
and now we’re doing kind of the desert
the desert phase alright so looking at
the picture we see this delightful piece
of cheesecake alright so here’s the
sentence the miniature cheesecakes look
so yummy on the plate again for
renunciation yummy very good alright so
again the miniature cheesecakes look so
yummy on the plate now what does this
word actually mean so again a sentence
the miniature cheesecakes looks so yummy
on the plate now the word yummy just
means when speaking about food delicious
or tasting extremely good remember I
said my mom she can cook really well and
she used to make really good banana nut
bread so the banana nut bread was very
delicious
or very yummy okay so let’s see three
examples and it says using this word
yummy here we go first the chocolate
cake was yummy next that ice cream looks
so yummy and finally these desserts look
yummy
excellent now what we want to do
is look at three different synonyms here
we go
delish enticing and flavorful one more
time pronunciation okay first delish
again delish now this is actually kind
of a slang term it’s the shortened form
of delicious like oh that looks delish
I’m just saying it looks delicious
but we use this slang term ok so delish
next enticing very good last time
enticing excellent and finally flavorful
very good flavorful excellent now let’s
see how the sentence is changed when we
add in these words okay so here we go
now we have the first one the miniature
cheesecakes look so delish on the plate
next the miniature cheesecakes look so
enticing on the plate and finally the
miniature cheesecakes look so flavorful
on the plate all right excellent job I

okay all right so remember at the
beginning of the video I told you that
my dad had this really good habit that
would he would do something special for
us on Sunday so now during our lesson I
told you that my mom is actually a great
cook an amazing cook so throughout my
life my mom was the one who would cook
for us when we had meals for the
holidays my mom was always the go-to she
was the one that cooked all of the meals
but on Sundays
growing up I can remember waking up
early in the morning and my nose would
be greeted by an amazing smell I mean
the kitchen smelled heavenly the food
that was being made downstairs woof I
could not wait to get out of my bed now
again I would still be in my bed just
waking up and then suddenly I’d hear
someone call my name TIFF TIFF it was my
dad say yes Daddy yes it’s time to come
down and eat and I would run down the
stairs and there would be fried potatoes
eggs pancakes
grits biscuits veggie meat remember
we’re vegetarian all of it was prepared
by my dad you see my dad loved to make
big meals on Sunday mornings so some of
my greatest memories are from Sunday
mornings eating the breakfast that my
dad would make so even though my mom is
an excellent cook my dad loved to do
Sunday morning breakfast and he still
does them to this day few weeks ago my
uncle’s came in town and my dad made
breakfast and we loved it
we sat at the table and we talked to
each other and it was really nice to
have family time so I hope you also have
a tradition where you and your family
