Anon remembers Halloween 1995

I have a theory that most people’s favorite food is actually onion. We like them sweet, spicy, pickled, and in breakfast omelettes, lunch sandwiches, and alongside dinner proteins. There isn’t much that isn’t improved or at least complemented by an onion.

In my mind its not cooking unless it involves cutting an onion

Old Ukrainian recipe: fry garlic and onions in a pan with butter, then decide what to have for dinner

Add carrots and you’re 2/3rds through lost good French and Italian meals too.

Same in the Philippines, but with oil instead of butter. Almost every dish there starts with garlic and onion.

Golden sauteed onion is gourmet shit.

Agreed nothing adds flavor layers to a dish like an onion can

Don’t forget they’re low calorie.

But just raw dogging onion sounds like hell.

College friend of mine used to eat 'em like apples. Ugh.

As a kid when I saw the movie Holes, I was so tempted to start eating onions like apples, like they do in that scene at the oasis. I also went home after the movie and dug a big hole in the backyard because I was a fucking weird ass. Still am. Never ate an onion like that, but damn they made em look tasty.

That’s my favourite way to eat ‘em!

When I chop onions I will just grab a few pieces to snack on raw while I cook the rest.

The burning is the best part.

Vidallia onions are decent raw. We put big 1/2 thick slabs on burgers that way. Carmel probably wouldn’t hurt in the OP’s case either.

Love the taste of 'em, but onions also give me awful gag reflex to the point I need to have them removed from my food. Otherwise I risk vomiting on the spot D:

I would add potato to that list. People fucking love potatoes on lots of forms.

Some parents are just ignorant assholes.

For real. Waiting until Halloween to introduce them to the deliciousness of caramelized onion…

Onions grown in soils without sulphuric compounds are actually very sweet and tasty without any oniony flavour.

Also just if they are cooked. Caramelized onion is amazing.

The only way I do white onion on my burgers. So good.

I don’t understand the monsters who put a whole slice of raw red onion on their burgers. The onion is all they could possibly be tasting

How might one acquire such onions?

You grow them… in soils without sulfuric compounds…

Do people read anymore? /s

Search for sweet onion farms in your country. They are rarely available in the shops.

So why do they foam them then?

Huh. There’s sweet onions for sale whenever I go to Kroger

Try ‘Walla walla’ or red onions

I never use white onions when cooking 🤢

Red onions are definitely not sweet and they definitely taste oniony.

Pungent onions, cooked, are much sweeter and more flavorful than sweet onions cooked.

Sweet onions are fantastic raw, but should be called Mild Onions instead.

White onion for cooking, sweet onion for raw, red onion splits the difference, but red onion quick pickle is better than any other onion pickles.

I have eaten plenty of pungent red onions, I don’t think the color is enough to tell.

Is that what japan onions are like? I dislike onions intensely, I had a meal that was 30 percent onion in japan and i had no issue finishing it. It went well with the peppered beef.

Do you normally dislike cooked onions? Raw onion is very oniony, but cooking really mellows them out.

I dislike raw onions, but I use them to cook all he time. I recognize that cooked onions add a great flavor to the food. The onions in this dish were just quickly sautéed, barely cooked as they were still crunchy and not brown at all. I joke with my fiancee that Japanese onions are so polite they don’t even make you cry lul.

I don’t know what the soil composition of Japan is, but shouldn’t it be high in sulfur considering it’s a volcanic archipelago?

That’s a very good point. Maybe their onions are just naturally not as oniony as others or I could just have had some imported onions from a non sulfury country.

Now I’m curious…

Crunchy (hopefully, instead of sticky), watery, spicy - all at the same time. Sounds intriguing

If you ever have a wicked head cold snack on some raw white onion. Makes my sinuses run like a god damn firehose.

I have one right now… but no access to an onion. I’m at the airport. Perhaps in the duty-free zone. Thanks for the advice

Just this morning, my 7yo kid asked for a side of crispy fried onions to eat with his chocolate croissant. This is not the first time.

It’s even more hilarious to me because both my kids hate onions in their food. But crispy fried onions? Irresistible!

Same. For me it’s a texture and appearance thing. I just don’t like the look of cooked onions.

But the flavor of onions is great to me so if they’re raw red or sweet onions or cooked into something but undetectable I love emm.

I feel this way about a lot of food textures and what does/doesn’t go together.

Could be the same for your kids.
