land of milk and honey
Place of plenty
A land of milk and honey is a place of abundance and prosperity, where good things flow freely.
The phrase comes from biblical descriptions of the promised land of Canaan.
It now describes any idealized destination or situation offering opportunity and comfort: My grandparents saw America as the land of milk and honey.
