Start right in the middle of things. A pound of salt. It's always been a favorite Russian proverb of mine: To truly get to know someone, you have to eat a pound of salt with them. Other regions may claim this proverb as their own, but I learned it from a small book of Russian proverbs owned by my sister.
Eat a pound of salt with them.
It takes a long time to eat a pound of salt, thus a long time to truly know a person.
Or,
The ordeal of sitting down and eating a pound of salt in one go would bring any two people close together.
I like to think there's other ways this proverb could be interpreted.
