Here are some more signs about food:
Vocab:
• Bread
• Milk
• Cheese
• Fruit
• Vegetables (fingerspell VEG)
• Meat
• Fish
• Egg
• Butter
‘Vegetables’ is one of those signs that is routinely fingerspelled, albeit in a shortened version: VEG.
The sign I showed you for ‘egg’ refers to cracking the top off a boiled egg with a spoon.
It’s also often used for raw egg, though technically that’s incorrect (people don’t use a spoon to take the top off a raw egg!) – for that reason, many people will fingerspell ‘egg’ if they are talking about a raw egg.
There are different signs for scrambled egg and fried egg, which mime the cooking process.
