Bonjour!

Quelqu'un connaitrait-il le sens de cette expression (suisse)?
Voici le contexte: "Das Komitee traf sich in Paris und zog 50 Journalisten den Speck durch den Mund"

Merci

mettre l'eau à la bouche
Explanation:
Mais à mon avis, "den Speck durch den Mund ziehen" a une connotation plutôt négative, dans le sens de leur mettre l'eau à la bouche puis les laisser sur leur faim...

Redensart
jemandem den Speck durch den Mund ziehen

Erläuterung
jemandem den Mund wässrig machen; jemandem Appetit auf etwas machen; ohne echtes Probieren jemandes Interesse an etwas Unbekanntem wecken

"Mettre en appétit", "mettre l'eau à la bouche" sont bien les équivalents français.
