Pound the Onion

Common slang used by middle eastern men...it actually has a literal translation rather than a metaphorical one which may be imagined by non-middle eastern folks.

Refers to the massive eating frenzy's which take place amongst family and friends. Inclusive of Kabobs, Basmati Rice, & ofcourse Raw White Onions. Rice Dishes in the middle eastern culture which are accompanied by lamb, beef, chicken, and are always represented with a side of cut raw onions. Raw onions are served table side at most middle eastern restaurants alongside Lavash Bread as an appetizer.
