To enjoy a great meal
Contexto cultural
The 'Sunday Lunch' (nedělní oběd) is a sacred ritual where this phrase is most commonly heard. It usually involves soup, a main meat dish, and a dessert. In the wine regions of Moravia, 'dát si do nosu' often refers to the combination of heavy food and excellent local wine during a 'košt' (tasting). Hospitality is a core value. Refusing to 'give it to your nose' when offered food can sometimes be seen as a slight to the host's cooking. Younger generations use the phrase ironically when eating fast food or 'guilty pleasures' like late-night fried cheese (smažák).
Add 'Pořádně'
To sound like a real native, add 'pořádně' (properly). 'Dali jsme si pořádně do nosu' is the most common way to say it.
Don't forget 'si'
If you say 'Dám do nosu,' people might think you are going to put something (like a finger or a pencil) in your nose!
