Food culture has played a pivotal role in human history, and has been viewed as one of the most fundamental aspects of human life. Being an integral part of human life, food has always been a topic of interest in linguistics. The study of gastronomy vocabulary in modern English has become increasingly relevant due to the significant changes in the world in recent years. Gastronomy vocabulary in various types of food discourse, as a reflection of the surrounding reality, is extremely topical among contemporary Ukrainian (I. Derzhavetska [6], S. Klymovych [7], T. Kniazieva [8], O. Mishukova [12], Yu. Polovynchak [14], etc.) and foreign (C. Gerhardt [20], M. Gracia-Arnaiz [22], E. Lavric, C. Konzett [25], K. Tompkins [32], etc.) scholars.
