Onions grown in soils without sulphuric compounds are actually very sweet and tasty without any oniony flavour.

Search for sweet onion farms in your country. They are rarely available in the shops.

So why do they foam them then?

To make jams and other condiments.

Huh. There’s sweet onions for sale whenever I go to Kroger

I don’t know what kroger is, but good for you!

Is that what japan onions are like? I dislike onions intensely, I had a meal that was 30 percent onion in japan and i had no issue finishing it. It went well with the peppered beef.

I don’t know what the soil composition of Japan is, but shouldn’t it be high in sulfur considering it’s a volcanic archipelago?
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
That’s a very good point. Maybe their onions are just naturally not as oniony as others or I could just have had some imported onions from a non sulfury country.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Or it’s just a different onion variety or cook it a certain way. The generalization of Japanese cuisine is subtlety. Their sweets aren’t very sweet. Their sours aren’t very sour. Their hots aren’t very hot. Yeah, you can find exceptions, but a lot of westerners living in Japan eventually get homesick for some Mexcian food or a good, hard deli bread.

Do you normally dislike cooked onions? Raw onion is very oniony, but cooking really mellows them out.

I dislike raw onions, but I use them to cook all he time. I recognize that cooked onions add a great flavor to the food. The onions in this dish were just quickly sautéed, barely cooked as they were still crunchy and not brown at all. I joke with my fiancee that Japanese onions are so polite they don’t even make you cry lul.

Probably.

Also just if they are cooked. Caramelized onion is amazing.

The only way I do white onion on my burgers. So good.

I don’t understand the monsters who put a whole slice of raw red onion on their burgers. The onion is all they could possibly be tasting
GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
I cant do a whole slice, but a few raw rings or bits spread over are great to add some zest. Works better with the mild onion types though.

If it’s not pungent, it will be amazing.
