Food is a crucial part of French conversation, not just as a topic, but in many expressions and idioms such as this one:
Literally 'to have the peach', meaning to be in great spirits, to feel great, to be full of beans.
Why a peach and not an orange, which contains vitamin C, you might ask?
Why a fruit to begin with?
And why beans in English?
Good question!
When it comes to idioms, it's best not to overthink it and, instead, go with the flow, enjoy the weirdness of it all and just use it!
Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions!
