Bedeutung
To consume food greedily
Kultureller Hintergrund
In traditional Maharashtrian weddings, the 'Pangat' is a sacred space. Finishing your food and 'hitting the plate' is seen as a sign of respect for the 'Annapurna' (Goddess of Food). Modern youngsters use this phrase when ordering from food apps like Zomato or Swiggy. It has moved from traditional feasts to modern fast food. In farming communities, after a hard day's work, eating a large meal of Bhakri and Thecha is described with this phrase to show the satisfaction of hard-earned food. Humorous writers like P.L. Deshpande often used this idiom to describe the 'middle-class love for food' in a relatable, funny way.
Use with '-var'
Always remember to put 'var' after the food item. Without it, the sentence sounds incomplete.
Not for formal dinners
Don't use this if you are trying to sound very polite or sophisticated.
