Comment on What I Imagine Taylor Swift Fans Eat

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.

Alliums (which includes onions) are not uncommon food allergy so there’s something in your theory

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.
