question: Hvorfra kommer udtrykket have your cake and eat it too?
context: You can't have your cake and eat it
  Paul Brians, professor i engelsk ved Washington State University, påpeger, at en mere logisk eller lettere forståelig version af dette ordsprog måske er: "Man kan ikke både spise sin kage og få den." Professor Brians skriver, at en almindelig kilde til forvirring omkring dette idiom stammer fra verbet to have, som i dette tilfælde indikerer, at når først kagen er spist, er det ikke længere muligt at beholde den, da den er i maven (og ikke længere eksisterer som kage).

  Paul Brians, Professor of English at Washington State University, points out that perhaps a more logical or easier to understand version of this saying is, "You can’t eat your cake and have it too." Professor Brians writes that a common source of confusion about this idiom stems from the verb to have which in this case indicates that once eaten, keeping possession of the cake is no longer possible, seeing that it is in your stomach (and no longer exists as a cake).
