any day of the week

[Jessica725]

Hi there,
I don't quite understand the meaning of "any of the week" in the following sentence.
"Vegetables taste better than little pig any day of the week."
Does it mean that vegetables only taste good this week or vegetabke always taste better than pigs?
I am looking foward to your answer.

It's for emphasis. That's all. The person is saying vegetables taste better than pork. (Bacon, for example.)

Thank you ,Tarheel

You can read "any day of the week" as "anytime".

"The week" here means any week in general. So it's "any day of any week", meaning "always".

Thank you,Barque!!You make it clear now!

Actually let me put it another way. "Any day of the week" means "any day that occurs in a week", so it means "any day" or "always".

Hi there, Unnecessary. Just go straight in with your question.
I don't quite understand the meaning of "any day of the week" in the following sentence.

Does it mean that vegetables only taste good this week or vegetables always taste better than pigs?
I am looking forward to your answer. Unnecessary.

Please note my corrections and comments above.

Where did you find the original sentence? Whenever you quote someone else's words, you must provide the source and author. The use of "little pig" there is odd. I would expect to see "pork" or "bacon".

Yes, "little pig" sounds odd. I thought it was a humorous reference to suckling pig--the sort you see being roasted whole on a spit.

That's not enough. Let's be very clear - you must give us the full title of the book (correctly capitalised) and the name of the author.

Don't put a space before a full stop.

Just take a little more time before hitting "Post reply". Read your post to yourself at least two or three times, checking your punctuation and spacing.

Although the wolf is certainly part of the story, I remember it as "The Three Little Pigs".

The wolf couldn't possibly have said that, because Mr. Wolf definitely likes pork.

It seems that somebody rewrote the story with some embellishments.

I suppose if I was a pig I might try to get the wolf interested in vegetables. (Good luck with that!)
