This article is devoted to the study of the existing gastronomic discourses in Uzbek and English by comparing the linguocultural characteristics. The study shows how national culture, values, customs and the worldview of the people are expressed through gastronomic terms, phrases and linguistic units regarding food. Based on the linguocultural approach, gastronomic discourse components in English and Uzbek languages – lexical units, phraseological phrases, cultural metaphors, advertising texts, recipes and samples of speech in everyday communication-are analyzed.
The article reveals similarities and differences in the nutrition culture of the two peoples through cultural codes and semantic fields. It also explores how gastronomic units are applied in a social context based on discourse analysis, through which friendship, hospitality, family values, and national identity are reflected. The results of the study show an inextricable connection between language and culture, especially evident in gastronomic culture. The results of the article can be applied in the fields of linguistics, cultural studies and Translation Studies.
