I don't know about that.  Where I grew up in West Virginia, the older
men would go to "ramp dinners", usually a sort of fund raiser
activity, but sometimes just a party.  For those who may not know,
ramps are similar to onions.  They are very, very strong.  Once the
guys eat them, they typcially go home, and undress, either outside, or
right at the door.  The clothes don't get very far, and the guys
usually get a good shower before their wives will even allow them to
get close.  I have never heard tell of anyone getting to hug or kiss
the wife after a ramp dinner, but who knows? :)
