    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.

          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.

            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.

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

          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

            I cant do a whole slice, but a few raw rings or bits spread over are great way to add some zest. Works better with the mild onion types though.

              I love a mix of raw and caramelized onions on my burgers. Cooked onions are too soft, raw onions are too strong (spicy?), but mixing them gets a good combo of texture and flavor.
