I'm not sure what you need here. Other idioms regarding food?
==================
Thank you for your help.
A: Lunch is on me.
B: _______________.
(What are suitable expressions in the blanks?)
(If one person say A, what does the other person answer in the blank?)
1. Thank you.
2. Really?
3. No, lunch is on me this time.
4. You paid the money for lunch yesterday, so lunch is on me this time.
(What about the answers? Do you have some other suitable expressions?)
Ahhh, now I understand it!!
All your responses would work fine with statement A. The only thing I'd suggest is to remove "the money" from #4. The word "paid" takes care of that idea.
The suitable expressions that could be used in the blank are:
1. Thank you
2. Really?
3. No, lunch is on me this time.
4. You paid the money for lunch yesterday, so lunch is on me this time.
These are all appropriate responses depending on the context and the relationship between the two individuals.
Alternative suitable expressions could be:
5. That's very kind of you.
6. I appreciate it.
7. You don't have to do that, but thank you.
8. Let me get the next one.
These expressions convey gratitude, surprise, and an understanding of the gesture. They can be used interchangeably based on the conversation and the relationship between the individuals involved.
