Comment on onions

If you don’t like onions you should try cooking them in butter on low heat for 30-45 minutes until they’re a deep amber and mixing them with sour cream, a bit of mayo, salt and pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Boom, caramelized onion dip.

This is genuinely good culinary advice. Thank you for sharing. I may try it soon.
That said, you bastard! You took all the delicious mustard gas tingle out of the onion! Poor ex-delicious onions.

Yeah. Raw onions are just about the only food ingredient I absolutely can’t stand to eat. But I love sauteed onions. I work at a fire house and do a lot of the cooking on shift. If anyone bitches about a pack of onions, I tell them I’ll add onions at the same time I add Habaneros. I love crazy hot stuff, but contrary to popular firefighter belief, most of the guys are huge weenies when it comes to spicy.

Same actually. But I later discovered the reason why I don’t like raw onions is because I have an allergy that gives me migraines when I eat them. Cooking them is fine and delicious though.
But yeah, used to be teased incessantly by family for being “Picky.”

Why do I keep seeing removed instead of some words? If anyone removed about a pack of onions?
8uurg@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Your instance (lemmy.ml) has a word filter - words in the filter get turned into removed.

Ha ha ha removed!

Anyone know where the banned word list is? I am having trouble finding it on my phone.

Thx. Did not know that.

Thanks. Bloody contextless word filtering. Sigh.

I used to be that way. I think you’ll eventually find that you like them. Not enough to take a bite out of a raw onion but being cool with them on a burger at least. Sometimes stuff like this just clicks for me as I get older. No idea why lol.

Odds aren’t that high at this point. I’m not all wrinkly, but I’m old enough to remember the before times, when the Internet didn’t exist.

They grow some onions that taste good raw (you can eat em like apples) but they are expensive
Fawkes@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
No, that’s not how that works. Your own personal experience is fine and valid, but try not to make the assumption it’s true for anyone else.

You probably know this since you work in a kitchen, but a buddy recently taught me that the trick for taking the edge off raw onion—e.g. to put on a salad or burger—is to soak the slices in cold water for a few minutes. Keeps the sweetness and flavor, but seriously reduces the sulfuric burn!
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
Nope. Had no idea.
I’m a firefighter. So I only sort of work in a kitchen. Whenever I’m the one making dinner for us all.

Lmao I’m sorry, the caffeine was hitting and my reading comprehension failed me — I saw “fire house” and interpreted that as the sub shop.
Thank you for your very important public service and for keeping your crew fed!

Yeah, anyone eating cold red onions can suck a dick. But I’ll suck a dick for a good onion dip.

You never had raw onions on a sangwich? Red onion especially, very tasty raw.

You haven’t lived until you’ve tried some fries with special sauce (mayonnaise, spiced ketchup and raw onion). Diabetes and heart disease included for free.

I’d be sucking dick more if it tasted like raw onion.

Just biting into a raw onion by itself is psychopath behavior but you gotta have raw onions on a proper Italian sub.

Try putting those red onion in water and vinegar (with a pinch of salt and sugar). They’ll become a deep red/purple and loose all acidity, gaining a sweet and vinegary taste. You can keep them in there for quite a long time too if done correctly
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Huh, we just call that onion dip here

No. Nope. Thank you.
