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.

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

But just raw dogging onion sounds like hell.

College friend of mine used to eat 'em like apples. Ugh.

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.

Had the same experience. I thought that'd taste really sour but assumed they were focused on the water content and ignored the flavor. Such a good movie, need to get some sploosh.

Some parents are just ignorant assholes.

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

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

Also just if they are cooked. Caramelized onion is amazing.

The only way I do white onion on my burgers. So good.

I don't understand the monsters who put a whole slice of raw red onion on their burgers. The onion is all they could possibly be tasting

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I cant do a whole slice, but a few raw rings or bits spread over are great way to add some zest. Works better with the mild onion types though.

I love a mix of raw and caramelized onions on my burgers. Cooked onions are too soft, raw onions are too strong (spicy?), but mixing them gets a good combo of texture and flavor.
