Calm down, Jason

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

How might one acquire such onions?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (6 children)

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

Try 'Walla walla' or red onions

I never use white onions when cooking 🤢

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

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

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!

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.

But just raw dogging onion sounds like hell.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

That’s my favourite way to eat ‘em!

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

Golden sauteed onion is gourmet shit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

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:

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget they're low calorie.

Jokes on them, caramelised onions are damn good both alone or in burgers.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (4 children)

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
