See below Explanation: I am certain that this is an idiomatic expression. In the United Kingdom we say FOOD FOR THOUGHT Hope this helps you. This is probably a good translation for dar que pensar. |

Food for thought is a good one. Explanation: You tend to think a lot when something is worrying you, so: "Worrisome" is another possibility. Regards, Luis M. Luis |

Maria is right... Explanation: "dar que pensar" = "to make one think," or "to give someone something to think about," as in "Me da que pensar" ("It makes me think..." or "That gives me something to think about.") But most of the other suggestions are good, too. |
