Do they all have lots of onion in them?

When I was in north America years ago, I noticed that the West African
students seemed to grow nothing but onions in their student gardens at
the agricultural universities I visited in Canada and the northern US.

On a field trip with some staff and graduate students at one Uni, we
stopped to buy a takeaway lunch at some dive out in the country. The
West African in our group made do with a parcel of fried onion rings.

Cheers, Phred.
