«دَاقِ الطَّعْمِيَّهْ وِبَاعِ الطَّاقِيَّهْ»

Someone samples a pleasure, finds it delicious, and from then on cannot leave it alone. He trades away his cap to get another helping; the cap stands for his possessions in general, so the point is his readiness to give up what he has, not the garment itself.

In wider use, the saying observes that any experience, not only eating, can kindle a desire strong enough to override good sense. Whatever a person has tried and enjoyed may become an object of eager pursuit, and they willingly spend their belongings, money, or effort chasing it, sometimes well beyond what is sensible.

Say this of someone who tried something agreeable, whether a food, a pastime, or another enjoyment, and then pursued it so keenly that they gave up their own possessions or resources to keep having it. It suits situations where appetite plainly overtakes restraint.
