Red or white, I love raw onion. The looks of revulsion I get make it that much better, but I do really enjoy them. They were my #1 grazing food, next to cheese when I worked at a pizza shop long long ago.

Do people really dislike onions that much? Like, I throw diced onions on a ton of different things and usually have to pay for it. I feel like eating a whole onion would just be something I’d do if I was drunk enough and didn’t have anything else in the house.
Protein tip, diced/sliced onion with a little sugar diluted in vinegar is a great refreshing side dish.

I hope no prejudice, I haven’t eaten an onion that I didn’t like.

That sucks… COVID made onions and garlic taste funny for like 3 weeks and that almost ended me.

Also … it doesn’t say anything about how you eat those. No prohibition against cooking it or adding additional ingredients. No time limit.
Chop that onion up, cook it, and use it in a meal or two, and it’ll be totally fine – delicious even. And I don’t even really like onions.

Shockingly just putting a whole onion in the oven and baking it with no prep, spices or anything is delicious too. It starts to caramelize and it becomes a sweet treat.

Just don’t chew, nibble on it and it’s no issue. Don’t ask me how I know

If we’re going on technicalities then you might need to eat the skin too

Eh, not that bad if I grind it up into a powder first.

I’m not an onion lover, but I’ve somehow recently realized that maybe its because yellow onion sucks? White onion (in chili, salsa, etc) I don’t mind, and might even miss if it were left out. Red onion, it kinda depends, I often don’t want as much as they put on a burger, but I’ll leave some small amount on.
But, all the recipes that call for yellow onion seem to be things I don’t like. I haven’t just tried one alone, to test, but can onion lovers chime in on whether yellow onion is distinctly different enough to be the kind I’ve hated much of my life?
