    Look, onions are like anal sex. If you were forced or tricked into having it as a kid, chances are you don’t want it when you become an adult.

        I used to hear that in high school when we were seeing who could be the most offensive. I still slip up sometimes and use it as a dark joke, and it’s always received as well as it has been here.

        Do they still feel slimy if they’re finely diced? I love the taste but hate the texture of mushrooms, and mincing them to incorporate into a dish is the best of both worlds for me.

      Congratulations, I think you might have a truly original experience. Never seen a kid that doesn’t like onions in any way, so they don’t need to be forced to eat them. And why would you force that in the first place? They aren’t the kind of vegetable that you need to eat, they’re there for flavor. I’m certain there’s some deeper issue here, you might want to figure that out.

      source
      • AlexanderTheDead@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        You must not know a lot of kids or have a lot of world experience. Onion is a top picky eater food. Why do parents force kids to eat them? Perception of table etiquette.

        Pretty easy thing to explain, if you are over the age of 15.

      • ACindyDerg@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I just don’t like big pieces of mostly raw onion. If it’s in a dish it’s great, but if you put a slab of raw onion on my burger I still will remove it. Minced onion is fine, but a lot of places put way too much on, so I have to scrape a bit off first…

      I mean it’s usually kids who are really picky eaters and many grow out of it. If they grow out of it that probably has happened by the time they’re 23

        Define “picky eater”.

        I’ve had people who seem to think disliking any food makes you a picky eater. Those are often the same category of people I never want to see eating because they look like pigs at the trough, shoving food into their mouth at an alarming rate while almost forgetting to breathe.

        But I don’t know many people who universally enjoy every food as an adult. So is everyone picky?

        Don’t get me wrong, I love onions as an adult. That said, I had a procedure a few years that fucked my ability to digest allium.

        I’m trying to eat fist fulls of probiotics to see if I can get back in the game.

        You can keep heating them slowly and caramelizing them until they turn in a jam …. that’s how good onions are.

        Or you could dehydrate them and use the crusty bits like bacon bits on all sorts of food.

        I always find it strange to hear people say they don’t like onions … I keep a large stock of onions in my kitchen all the time because they go into just about every recipe and you can cook, fry, bake or use them raw in all sorts of things.

      My partner’s in the same boat.

      What’s wicked sad is he loves garlic but it doesn’t love him. He can have garlic oil but that’s about it (something to do with FODMAPs).

      source
      • simplejack@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Might want to also try powers, cooking the shit out of the alliums, or cooking with the bulbs then removing the bulbs before serving. Get the flavor without the high FODMAP fructans.

        I’m also trying to see what I can do to build back the gut bacteria which would normally process that stuff correctly. Probiotics + slowly reintroducing the alliums over a long period of time.

    Onions and peppers are some of the vegetables I eat the most of because you can cut them up very quickly and serve with simple lunches like pasta or an omelette

    source
    • Ininewcrow@piefed.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      And to lessen the taste of onions … either cut them very thinly … or take the cut slices and soak them in a bit of vinegar for ten minutes.

      Best way to enjoy raw onions I find is to eat them with cheese … nothing like a plain old cheese and onion sandwich .. we discovered this in southern Spain where mountain villages serve it like that - really strong manchego hard cheese with strong Spanish onions served on hard crust baguette style bread, it’s amazing

      source
      • TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        That sounds amazing, and I can’t wait to try it… But I can’t help but wonder how horrible everyone’s breath might be there. 😬

        Interesting, I’ll have to try that.

        For a while our standard appetizer to bring places was onions and Brie on saltines. It just works and is simple.

        But from that I assumed onions want a creamy cheese like brie, so hard cheeses never occurred to me

      Might be an allergy. I used to have something like this with some foods some years ago. What’s interesting is that now I don’t seem to have it any more with the same foods; it might be true what they say about allergies - that they come and go. Not a medical professional - just speaking from my experience.

      source
      • michaelmrose@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Nobody says the come and go. They can come on later in life but once there you are basically stuck with it. Reason being is that allergies are an immune reaction. These are mediated by immune cells, antibodies, that bind to the $insert_bad_thing and put a “murder me” sign on its back. These cell are produced by long lived immune cells.

    Chopped up over a kg of onions and fried them, also added grated parsnip and carrots, then salt, pepper and a few bottles of malt vinegar. Little bit of honey too. Simmer away for a few hours, add more vinegar if it’s getting a little dry. Then store in jars.

    This was 2 days ago and my kitchen still smells divine. I don’t really know how to accurately describe it. Caramelised onions but there is more to it from the vinegar. Doesn’t smell like vinegar though, more like it’s enhanced the onions.

    Cheap to make as supermarkets here are competing over selling the cheapest veg. 5kg of parsnips, carrots, cabbage and swede for under £0.50, onion was a bit more, but not much. Was going to add all of it but my arm was getting tired from grating and peeling so much. I don’t own a food processor so it’s all by hand. Filled 2.5L worth of jars from the first batch.

    Best decision I’ve ever made. No regrets, at all. There is so much to discover in the world. Why would you limit yourself?

    I really feel like some people cling to listing the foods they don’t like as some unique part of their personality. Like they picked it at their character selection screen and they’re sticking with it.

    There is no life without The Trinity! (onion, garlic, peppers)

    But there are people that just can’t eat some foods without digestive repercussions. And food tolerances can even change as we age. I used to love eating peanuts and other tree nuts. But as I have aged, my digestive tract can no longer tolerate eating them except in small amounts. But I now pile on the herbs and spices when I cook. I want strong bold flavors in my food as I have aged.

    Life, it seems is weird and changing.
