Come on now, OP. What ever other criticism you may level at that sandwich, you can’t say that cheese and raw onion is lacking in flavour.
You are allowed flavor

You do have a point. It certainly would make the eyes water. Really great to eat before a date so she knows you take gourmet food seriously.

You two should get together.
Try lightly toasting the sandwich too.

He’s burning in hell. I’m savoring a delicious onion sandwich in celebration. What could be better?

You should try a Hemingway sandwich. It’s peanut butter and a slice of onion on bread. It is surprisingly delicious, savory, sweet, nutty…
udon@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Is it healthy? No.
But does it taste good? Also no.

I don’t know onions are tasty, cheese is tasty, I don’t see how this isn’t tasty.
DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Just gotta grill that shit and everyone will be drooling for it
TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I would assume that the texture of the onion is part of the appeal. So if you grill it you’ve got to either toast the bread or add a few chips to get that crunch.
jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
If you toast it in an oven or grill it in a pan just slightly, the onion will still be crunchy and so will the bread. You’re not caramelizing the onions.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 month ago
Cheese and onion is a pretty strong flavor.
Rothe@piefed.social 1 month ago
Deliciously so.
Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Especially stinky cheeses like Limburger

Only an American would think a slab of cheddar would be tasteless.
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I like how you look at a picture of a dude eating a raw onion and a slab of cheese on a roll and think “fucking Americans.”
Yawn yawn yawn, get new material Lemmy.
Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 month ago
And you think “brittish food bad and bland” is some kind of revolutionary humour here?
Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s actually a tradition in between Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin to have onion and cheese sandwiches, Limburger cheese is made in Monroe and is quite possibly the best pairing to raw onions, so I wholeheartedly believe it’s now almost entirely exclusive to the American pallete nowadays, and this post is the anomaly.
Rothe@piefed.social 1 month ago
They are projecting their own “cheese products” unto the cheese of others.

We do in fact have cheese here
GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I would eat that.
AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I like cheese ,onions and bread. But I’m not in to eating an onion sliced like that, it’s insane .
GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I think you meant to say it’s delicious
Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 1 month ago
If you have the opportunity, consider Limburger with onion on a nice rye bread

At least caramelize the onions and melt the cheese first.

Onion on a grilled cheese? Yes, please. And, some green olives, too.
Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 month ago
If the ingredients are good, you don’t actually need to do that. Good cheese has nice taste that will go away if you melt it. Same as onions actually. Same with bread.
rumba@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
9/10 for ingredients
2/10 for prep/cooking
Cut that onion in half to make 2 disks, then quarter those, add just enough water to steam, cover and cook until soft or the water steams away, add butter and sautee until the onions are medium brown. Cube the cheese and add to the onions, stir until melted, add a pinch of flour, maybe a crushed and minced clove of garlic and cook for another minute, salt and pepper to taste. Butter and toast the inside of the roll spread the cheese and onion mixture.
Consider taking an antacid if you can’t handle garlic and onion.
humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 month ago
if you can’t handle garlic and onion.
At that point I’d consider violating the terms of service.
rumba@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
True, if you already had half an onion on bread, you probably understood the assignment. Arguably, you might break up more of the cell walls in the prep work, but the cooking probably would have tamed it all a bit.

Guys i don’t say that I want to eat it but i am saying that i also yearn to eat this thing
PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
On the most shallow and vague level, me too. I wouldn’t say it looks inviting, but maybe compelling somehow. I also unironically like brutalist architecture, so this feels like it’s cousin.
I am reasonably certain any yearning would fade mid-way through my first bite, tho, as gigantic armies of raw onion just route and slay whatever other piddling forces of flavor they can find. Cheese? Bread? Erased, never heard of em.
Not for you?!

The Americans are not going to like what I am about to say: Beans on Toast is a great meal.
tastetheplague@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
It actually doesn’t sound half bad, but for breakfast? I couldn’t.
Techlos@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Beans, toast, wilted spinach, fried tomato, sauteed mushrooms and onion, all sprinkled with thyme and served with a big cup of coffee.
Not something I’d eat every day, but if I’m doing stage setup for a festival with back to back shifts? That brekkie will keep you going a good 10 hours.
abbiistabbii@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
It’s more of a lunch thing.
QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Brooo beans of garlic bread, fuck if that wouldn’t n=be bangin!
Buffy@libretechni.ca 1 month ago
I don’t even like beans, but if I did this sounds like a way better texture than just beans by themselves. I don’t understand why people who enjoy them act like putting it on toast is weird.
Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
A good bun. A tasty onion. Flavourful cheese. What’s not to like? If it was an American factory bread-like bun with American Cheese, the onion might still make it edible.
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Grill the onion and melt the cheese
Geldaran@lemmy.world 1 month ago
This. That’d be a fantastic sandwich if you melted that cheese, toasted the bun, and sauteed or grilled the onion.

Yo you could make it even more beige by adding mayo but be careful, that’s a lot of flavor for you

I tried one the last time this tired low rent meme came through. It was okay. I had no problem eating it.

Make that into a grilled cheese and you have an epic sandwich.

You would never have been able to afford to eat this during rationing, that’s an entire family’s cheese allowance for a week.
