What is a "snack"?

A snack is a small portion of food eaten between meals, typically to satisfy hunger or cravings. Snacks are often quick and easy to prepare or grab on the go and can vary widely in type and size. Common snacks include fruits, nuts, crackers, chips, granola bars, yogurt, or small sandwiches. They provide a quick energy boost and help people feel full until their next meal. Snacking can be enjoyed at any time of day and can be a healthy part of a balanced diet when chosen wisely.

What is the origin of the idiom "grab a bite" and when to use it?

The exact origin of the idiom "grab a bite" is somewhat challenging to trace, as it likely emerged informally in everyday language. However, it stems from the inherent meaning of the individual words. "Grab" suggests a quick and informal action, while "a bite" refers to a small serving of food. It is used to describe the act of having a quick, often informal meal or snack, especially when time is limited, and formality is not necessary.
