Throw an Onion (1986)
["Throw an Onion" is a recipe for cooking traditional Middle Eastern cuisine, complete with salad and dessert,
and includes references to hosting habits when inviting people over for a meal.
And as in most Khauli songs, popular sayings and parables are used to highlight the message.]
Throw an onion in butter, in ghee, or in oil
Add a kilo of lean meat, a leg of lamb, or some shanks
Add to that a kilo of green beans, or okra, or eggplant
Fry them to a blonde color, add salt, and pepper, liberally
Extinguish them with a little water, raise the flame, the water boils
Cover them up over a gentle flame, for about an hour or two
In the meantime clean the rice, soak it, and drain it
Prepare vermicelli by the same method, twenty minutes, that's it
For the salad, tomatoes and lettuce, parsley, a couple of cucumbers
A clove of garlic, juice of lemon, oil of olive, "Dinner is served"
(Table scene, with typical table talk, including the entire family and guests)
We wrap things up with sweets, chocolate cake, a bowl of cream and honey
All sorts of fruits, coffee and tea, a gallon of water, "May your table be forever"
(What follows is a typical after-dinner conversation with the hosts)
Hostess: "Munir, what can I get you?"
Guest: "Thanks madam, everything was delicious but I am full"
Hostess: "Come on, you didn't eat a thing"
Guest: "I did, I ate three or four plates of food"
Hostess: "Let me serve you another helping"
Guest: "No, you're very kind, thanks"
Hostess: "It seems you didn't like our food"
Guest: "Oh, but I did. You just didn't see how much I ate"
Hostess: "One last bite, one last bite"
Guest: "I beg you madam, I'm going to burst, I'm going to pop"
Host: "What do you smoke? Marlboros?"
Guest: "No thanks. You're very kind"
Host: "Winston? Kent?"
Guest: "No, I don't smoke, thank you"
Host: "L&M? Du Maurier?"
Guest: "No thanks mister, I stopped smoking long ago"
Host: "Then take a bonbon"
Guest: "Oh wow, thanks"
The choir repeats: throw an onion, and an onion, and an onion, and an onion
In truth, people's opinions have differed widely concerning food and eating
One faction insists: "Where the bellies are concerned the brains are lost"
"After lunch lay down, after dinner walk around"
"Man does not live by bread alone"
Other people disregard that and say: "Eat what you want, wear what others want"
"The key to appetite is one bite"
"A man without a belly is not worth a penny"
"The rice took all the credit and the wheat hung itself"
"Haven't you thrown enough onions Chef?"
"Oh how my stomach aches. Oh my stomach"
Two tablets of Alka Seltzer are dropped into a glass of water
Give us more of your music 💛
Hi Ahmad. I am always reviewing my music, and I have a few more songs to upload, some new, some redone with better equipment than I had when I first started to record. I am glad that some people wish to listen. Thank you.
Sometimes it's sad how underrated your music is, other times i love this fact. As for myself i consider it a hidden treasure cause I'm telling you, the pop music and the originality of your lyrics are just too cool for this generation. Maybe in 20 years or so, we'll have some pop culture. And maybe they will understand 💙
This song promptly comes to my head every time I start cooking..so basically everyday, for the last 35 years! 😂
And now I’m gonna teach it to my American son as part of Arabic culinary/Arabic homeschool lesson. What an impact. Thanks Munir. The musical gift that keeps on giving. Still ♥️ you..
Glad to find your channel. Hope it’s still active.
Thank you, Ruby. The channel is still active and it looks like I might keep uploading stuff for a some time to come. I recently uploaded a studio version of Zit Basleh, which should be at around the top of the videos on my channel, and I hope you will give it a listen.
@@munirkhauli I did! Gave a “like” even ;-)
Maybe you still have it in you to put out something fresh. The world is so screwed up right now you have plenty of material to work with.
