Summary/Abstract: FOOD is one the most fruitful fields for the generation of phraseologisms in many languages. According to UNESCO, Mexican cuisine is one of the four World Heritage cuisines of mankind and it has given rise to an abundant phraseology in Mexican Spanish. Our paper offers a sample of complex lexias formed around forty-two lexemes in the culinary field, eight of which are chosen for the analysis of their phraseological formation. The analysis is synchronic and points to the cultural context in which the phraseological production is developed. Our approach focuses on significant referential data that could make the expression transparent and reveals the cultural framework underlying the production of phraseologisms in Mexican Spanish.
