I just tied them to my belt, which was the custom at the time.

When someone says they hate onions you know they are the most boring person ever.

I like the taste of onions, but I hate the structure of them cooked. EDIT: and yeah, I am pretty boring.

I love onions. Any one remember that old novelty "I love onions" song. No...guess I am just old. "LA La La"

I remember leekspin if that counts for anything

Onions, garlic, other onions, other other onions

Heh! The pointy ones are shallots. I agree that Chinese chives or European Leeks or something equally different would have better rounded out the set.

The nightshade family also gives us a lot of important vegetables. Potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers being the most common but others as well.

Don't forget the brassicas too

And then there's Brassica oleracea, where it's not even a family, but one single species that brings us a heap of classic veggies including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, and gai lan. If you expand to its family you can add turnip, bok choy, radish, wasabi, as well as the majority of source vegetables in the eponymous "vegetable oil".
