I saw an example sentence as below:
My sister-in-law Joy has another twist on this white / yellow / butter / salt / sweet comfort food thing.
May I know what this sentence means?
Thank you!!!
to have “another twist on” something means “to have their own unique variation of” doing something. Usually it’s mostly the same, but with a few differences. In this example, it means Joy has a little different way of doing comfort food that is unique to her.
In other examples:
The movie “She’s the Man” with Amanda Bynes puts a modern twist on Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.”
The movie “10 Things I Hate About You” with Joe Gordon Levitt and Heath Leger puts a modern twist on Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew.”
The restaurant Applebees serves something called “chicken waton tacos” as an appetizer. In doing so, they offer a twist on a traditionally Mexican dish (tacos) by making it out of something normally Chinese.
