Smoked Venison Meatballs

Some etymological notes about the word cebula - onions:
It derives from latin cēpula, a diminutive of cēpa ‛onion’. The origins and etymology of this word in latin are not known, it is probably borrowed from some unknown ancient language.
It's not present only in polish, but also in slovenian (čebula), slovakian (cibuľa), czech (cibule) and even in roman languages, it. cipolla, spanish cebolla etc.
Anyway, who doesn't love meat and onion! But it makes you cry at first, yeah. ?

Growing up, there was an old lady in our neighborhood that ate onion sandwiches. Just big ol’ slices of onion and mayonnaise on bread, blech!
She smelled of onions.
We cook with them, soften them for sauces, braised with potatoes, meats, etc... the base for all Southern cooking.
I also grow shallots, green onions, leeks... so we diversify, but we still think of them as onions. And, if it doesn’t have onions, it probably has garlic, ha ha.
It’s not a bunch of onions, just enough to add the touch of sweet and savory.

In our house we eat garlic as a vegetable, not a seasoning, lol.

This is one of very few dishes that I don’t start by cutting an onion. My wife has noticed that I use so many onions everytime I cook, that when we first went into lockdown with only one onion in the pantry, she screamed at me that we were going to starve to death, ha ha!

That sounds so familiar...
