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.

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

Golden sauteed onion is gourmet shit.

Onions are s-tier
PhatInferno@midwest.social 5 months ago
Agreed nothing adds flavor layers to a dish like an onion can
3ntranced@lemmy.world 5 months ago
But just raw dogging onion sounds like hell.
shalafi@lemmy.world 5 months ago
College friend of mine used to eat 'em like apples. Ugh.
dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 5 months ago
That’s my favourite way to eat ‘em!
Okami_No_Rei@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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:
TheDannysaur@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I would add potato to that list. People fucking love potatoes on lots of forms.
Aux@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Onions grown in soils without sulphuric compounds are actually very sweet and tasty without any oniony flavour.
bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Also just if they are cooked. Caramelized onion is amazing.

The only way I do white onion on my burgers. So good.
NickwithaC@lemmy.world 5 months ago
How might one acquire such onions?
heydo@lemmy.world 5 months ago
You grow them… in soils without sulfuric compounds…
Do people read anymore? /s
Aux@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Search for sweet onion farms in your country. They are rarely available in the shops.

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.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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?
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Do you normally dislike cooked onions? Raw onion is very oniony, but cooking really mellows them out.
Aux@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Probably.

Now I’m curious…
clutchtwopointzero@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Crunchy (hopefully, instead of sticky), watery, spicy - all at the same time. Sounds intriguing
Delphia@lemmy.world 5 months ago
If you ever have a wicked head cold snack on some raw white onion. Makes my sinuses run like a god damn firehose.
fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Just this morning, my 7yo kid asked for a side of crispy fried onions to eat with his chocolate croissant. This is not the first time.
I shall have to inform him of his new status.
mrpants@midwest.social 5 months ago
Same. For me it’s a texture and appearance thing. I just don’t like the look of cooked onions.
But the flavor of onions is great to me so if they’re raw red or sweet onions or cooked into something but undetectable I love emm.
Could be the same for your kids.
Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Jokes on them, caramelised onions are damn good both alone or in burgers.
dditty@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Caramelized onions are, sure. But i’m assuming the 4chan poster bit into a raw onion with a Carmel glaze, however, which does not seem appetizing to me.
HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 5 months ago
One Christmas extended family had a Christmas gift exchange, one uncle had made a “gag gift”, it was a piggy bank with pennies, I got it, he felt bad but to everyone’s suprise, I was estatic. I was 5 and collecting coins, a piggy bank filled with loose change was the best present.

As a toddler I’d eat onions and tomatoes like apples.
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
That sounds really good
Apples are too sweet to add candy to
RealFunAtParties@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I think the apples that are typically used are the sour varieties so that there is a flavor contrast when biting in to it. This is just what I heard though, I usually don’t like whatever is covering them.
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
It depends who makes them. The ones pre made at like a fair or store that are huge are usually sweet. Tart apples don’t tend to grow big.
m3t00@lemmy.world 5 months ago
never really liked the combo, apples/caramel. always eat them both separately
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Try slicing a tart apple like granny smith and dipping it into caramel. Worst case scenario, you can stop combining them and just eat them separately.

You fool! That’s an Aggie 1015Y super sweet onion! You’ve given him the taste of the good stuff and doomed us all!

For real. Waiting until Halloween to introduce them to the deliciousness of caramelized onion…
