I don’t like onions either. The taste is ok sometimes, but not very nice. And the texture is awful.

Just started dating one, she tells me she doesn’t like onion. Like what? You eat onion in so much shit without realizing it! How do you not like onion‽

Practically every cuisine around the world uses onion.

Some people don’t like taste.

Some people would take a pill for sustenance if they could.
Nollij@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
You basically can, albeit not in pill form. There’s a whole category of complete meal replacement options, mostly in the form of shakes. The best known is Soylent by Rosa Labs, but there are dozens of others targeting every nutritional profile around. Most are a fraction of the cost of even the most basic foods.
Strangely, most of those people will still not even try these.

I just replace it all with shallots. They’re way better, no nasty slimy texture. Fuck cooked onions, nastiest shit ever, texture-wise
SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yall have some wrong kind of onion. Where I am, raw onion is crunchy like fresh cabbage. Do yall buy onion only after it has been lying around in warm air for a year?
What really has awful texture is boiled cabbage or onion.

Is it possible you’re cooking the onion wrong?
Viceversa@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
And?
BlueOysterCultist@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Out of curiosity, is it any onions?
Like there’s white, yellow, and red onions. On top of that, lightly cooked yellow onions are far different from heavily carmalized ones (crunchy and oniony vs soft and sweet)
Viceversa@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Any of them bastards
Except leek. But I don’t know for sure whether it counts as an onion
lyn@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
What about spring onion/green onion?
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Don’t forget pickled red onions. Fuck I gotta bring a jar of those to snack on to the movie tonight
cinoreus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Raw onions have an awsome texture come on.
BladeFederation@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
I have a love hate relationship with it. The extra flavor onion can add is god tier. The texture is awful. So I cook with it but leave minimal pieces left in the dish.
MasterNerd@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
That’s interesting. I’m huge on texture and I love onions for theirs. Tomatoes on the other hand…
BladeFederation@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Incidentally, I also love the texture of tomatoes 🤔 are you my evil twin by any chance?
CrimeIsLegalNow@ani.social 2 weeks ago
I’m both your evil triplet, I don’t like the texture of either.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Dude you just made me want to make French onion soup
BladeFederation@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Peak onion-based dish right there. The broth gets the oniony flavor but then you don’t need too many onions in it…
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Maybe you and I make it different mine is like 75% onion (the rest is bread and cheese)
restingOface@quokk.au 2 weeks ago
I am kind of the same way with garlic. I can certainly enjoy foods that have garlic as one of the ingredients, but if it’s the main flavor, I tend to not like it. Like, if I’m choosing from the hummus varieties available to me, I have no problem with the plain hummus that obviously has garlic in it, but I don’t like the “roasted garlic” variety that has extra garlic.
rmuk@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
I love garlic in all forms but I have to agree - garlic as a seasoning is very different to garlic as a flavour.
SalamiDommie@lemmus.org 2 weeks ago
I have a hypothesis but am not smart enough to verify. But I think Onion affects some people like cilantro. Where a portion of people have a reaction to it and others do not. But mostly that they are responding to onion’s intended natural defense of vapor and oil.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Alliums (which includes onions) are not uncommon food allergy so there’s something in your theory
SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I didn’t like onions in my childhood. I grew fond of them when approaching adulthood, particularly when I moved out and started properly cooking for myself and buying my own fast food. Now a sandwich without onion doesn’t taste right.
So I think it’s rather a matter of a particular configuration of tastebuds. Just like I grew out of liking overly sweet foods.

Malica@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
My husband doesn’t eat onion, pepper, mushroom and any other “weird” vegetable. Try cooking with these restrictions. If I have to use one of these, he’ll eat it, but he won’t like it, so I feel like it’s not fair to serve to him constantly, only once in a while.
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Those are like the 3 things I use the most! God, I feel for you!
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
You could try pawning your husband off on my ex-wife. She has all of the same “restrictions”, but also bell peppers and garlic. Oh and no fish of any sort, except for herring, which she’ll eat tons of whenever pregnant (which I think would be most of the time if she could)
ohulancutash@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
Seafood is disgusting though. Whales shit in that sea.
LwL@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I kinda hate onion. If I don’t taste it it’s fine but any dish that I’ve tried both with and without I heavily prefer without. Fried onions are the exception for me.
wezzzy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
I also dont like union like the caremelized shit it sucks but if its cooked into a dish i can enjoy it maybe sm like this?
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
My mom hated onions and could tell if there was even a tiny amount in something. I didn’t like them much as a kid either
Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
My mom’s the same way, except she can only taste the onion when being told it’s in the dish…even when there is none
