Summary/Abstract: Our study subsumes the ethno-linguistics, which in Eugen Coşeriu’s terms, is aiming at the study of language variety and variation in close contact with civilization and culture of a community. This article focuses on the culinary components of German and Romanian idioms which contain elements of dishes. The aim of the paper is to present the similarities and differences in the form and meaning of these idioms. These idioms are analysed in German-Romanian wordbooks and their usage in the electronic corpus. Within culinary phraseology one can identify universal units and the specific ones which are strictly connected with a given language and culture. Culinary names belong to the main lexical store of a language and that is why are often used in phraseology.
