Onions are s-tier

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.

Agreed nothing adds flavor layers to a dish like an onion can

Don’t forget they’re low calorie.

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.

You weren’t a normal kid if you didn’t see something random, whether cool or not, and try to imitate it.

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.

That’s my favourite way to eat ‘em!

When I chop onions I will just grab a few pieces to snack on raw while I cook the rest.

The burning is the best part.

Vidallia onions are decent raw. We put big 1/2 thick slabs on burgers that way. Carmel probably wouldn’t hurt in the OP’s case either.

Love the taste of 'em, but onions also give me awful gag reflex to the point I need to have them removed from my food. Otherwise I risk vomiting on the spot D:

I would add potato to that list. People fucking love potatoes on lots of forms.

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

Add carrots and you’re 2/3rds through lost good French and Italian meals too.

Same in the Philippines, but with oil instead of butter. Almost every dish there starts with garlic and onion.

Golden sauteed onion is gourmet shit.
