question: Hvor kommer uttrykket have your cake and eat it too fra?
context: You can't have your cake and eat it
  Paul Brians, professor i engelsk ved Washington State University, påpeker at kanskje en mer logisk eller lettere å forstå versjon av dette ordtaket er: "Du kan ikke spise kaken din og ha den også." Professor Brians skriver at en vanlig kilde til forvirring om dette formspråket stammer fra verbet å ha som i dette tilfellet indikerer at når den er spist, er det ikke lenger mulig å beholde kaken, siden den er i magen din (og ikke lenger eksisterer som en kake).

  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).
