Slang

This is a slang term for dishes that are made of meat, poultry, fish, ...etc.

The etymology of the term may be derived from "distinct strong smell", which those dishes have, but are lacking in vegetable dishes.

For example, if a husband comes home and his wife made only koshary, lentils or other vegetable only dish, he will scream in protest "هو مافيش زفر؟" ("Are there not any Zafar?").
