Summary/Abstract: In Polish discourse on music one can find numerous figurative expressions that evoke associations distant from musical ones. The article is devoted to one of the types of such expressions – those that are typically applied in reference to the culinary domain. Adopting the approach of Cognitive Grammar (Langacker 1987, 2003, 2005, 2009, 2017), it is attempted to determine the conceptual basis of such expressions. The undertaken analysis commences from conceptualizations that emerge from the collected metaphorical expressions. Later, on this basis, the conceptual, schematic structures that motivate these uses are indicated. As a result, the conceptual foundations of the analyzed expressions are presented as a coherent mental construct that encompasses a schematic categorizing relationship between two scenarios, as well as a highly abstract structure for which the two scenarios are instantiations. It is emphasized that the whole construct is rooted in the encyclopedic knowledge of the speaker.
