I have a theory that most peopleâs favorite food is actually onion. We like them sweet, spicy, pickled, and in breakfast omelettes, lunch sandwiches, and alongside dinner proteins. There isnât much that isnât improved or at least complemented by an onion.
Old Ukrainian recipe: fry garlic and onions in a pan with butter, then decide what to have for dinner
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.
Some parents are just ignorant assholes.
Onions grown in soils without sulphuric compounds are actually very sweet and tasty without any oniony flavour.
I donât understand the monsters who put a whole slice of raw red onion on their burgers. The onion is all they could possibly be tasting
Search for sweet onion farms in your country. They are rarely available in the shops.
Try âWalla wallaâ or red onions
I never use white onions when cooking đ¤˘
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.
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 sautĂŠed, barely cooked as they were still crunchy and not brown at all. I joke with my fiancee that Japanese onions are so polite they donât even make you cry lul.
I donât know what the soil composition of Japan is, but shouldnât it be high in sulfur considering itâs a volcanic archipelago?
Thatâs 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 Iâm curiousâŚ
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. Iâm 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.
Itâs even more hilarious to me because both my kids hate onions in their food. But crispy fried onions? Irresistible!
Same. For me itâs a texture and appearance thing. I just donât like the look of cooked onions.
But the flavor of onions is great to me so if theyâre 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/doesnât go together.
Could be the same for your kids.
