You include shallots, but not spring onions? I feel offended.

I like onions in general but it's harder to argue against a yellow onion than a white one

My mother does not like onions.

I am glad I did not inherit that horrific genetic abnormality.

I don't like onions. It's literally the one food I do not like. I've tried them many times, many ways, and still nope.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Raw and cooked? Maybe try it minced, cooked extremely soft and mixed into a sauce so there are no visible pieces?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I will use it to cook in soups and such, but otherwise, no thank you. I've replaced it with leeks and shallots.

Shallots and leeks are nice! Welcome to the Allium family:)

My gf does not like the texture of onions.

The taste is fine with her, so I think I'm gonna have to get used to cooking for her with minced onions...

My mom was (and is) a terrible cook in many other ways, but the 'I'm not making you anything with onions in it' as a kid kind of sucked.

I'm just glad my grandmother was a good cook.

I feel bad for my brother right now, since his gf cannot have onions and garlic due to a food intolerance. At least spring onions are still tolerable, but still...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Garlic and onions are the basis for so many things that we cook at my house. I can't imagine not having them in my diet.

What's this "almost", please?

I would certainly not enjoy garlic in my chocolate cake

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Cake has layers. Onion has layers.

∵ Cake is onion.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Always has been

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

But that garlic when it's onion cake though

Without going too Wittgenstein on you, I read it a bit differently, and I would enjoy onion jam on my chocolate cake.
