All yums.
Sucks to have IBS, it's hard to avoid alliums...
Me too, and I just suffer for it haha.
I know it’s stupid, but I just can’t give up good food. My stomach will hurt so bad it feels like I have back problems or something and I’m still not eating spaghetti without my garlic bread.
I don’t eat the good stuff constantly, most of my meals are bland. When I get a chance though I don’t pass on it.

I have mixed feelings because they are dog poison. Makes me feel like they're kind of evil.

Btw, how are the little onions named?
Shallots
It sucks having an allium intolerance... no one will take my garlic from me though, even if it makes me miserable later
I once had a coworker who just took a bite out of a raw onion right in front of me. They were completely unfazed, like it was an apple or something. I'm still a little emotionally scarred.
My grandfather used to eat vidalia onions like apples. They’re pretty sweet & mild.
There are actually onions that you can do that with. I think the soil where those are grown is low on sulfer or something so the onion cant make the chemical responsible for making your eyes water.
I'll usually eat a could wee chunks of an onion after I dice it up, and the other day I was surprised by how palatable the onion was that I was eating. Normally I enjoy eating a couple tiny pieces raw, but this was an onion I could see myself taking a big ol bite out of

Was he Eastern European?
No, I don't think so. He was a younger guy from the southern US, if I remember correctly. Is that something east europeans do on the regular??
Southern guy probably was eating a Vidalia onion. The soil is low in sulfur, I believe, and has a more neutral acidity, so the onion is pretty uniquely sweet. I heard one older southerner call them dirt apples.
As an eastern european, we eat everything with onions and garlic. Hell, I even eat onions on their own time to time, it tastes good.
Younger guy from the southern US here, I have done this just to fuck with people. I'm just not very sensitive to the "bite" onions are supposed to have. I can chop quite a few of them before my eyes start to water.
