Some parents are just ignorant assholes.

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

[-] Dipbeneaththelasers@lemmy.today 102 points 1 month ago

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

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

Add carrots and you’re 2/3rds through lost good French and Italian meals too.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Same in the Philippines, but with oil instead of butter. Almost every dish there starts with garlic and onion.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 14 points 1 month ago

Golden sauteed onion is gourmet shit.

Agreed nothing adds flavor layers to a dish like an onion can

[-] 3ntranced@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

But just raw dogging onion sounds like hell.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

College friend of mine used to eat 'em like apples. Ugh.

[-] AsherahTheEnd@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Chriszz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

You weren’t a normal kid if you didn’t see something random, whether cool or not, and try to imitate it.

That’s my favourite way to eat ‘em!

[-] Okami_No_Rei@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

When I chop onions I will just grab a few pieces to snack on raw while I cook the rest.

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The burning is the best part.

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 6 points 1 month ago

I would add potato to that list. People fucking love potatoes on lots of forms.

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 58 points 1 month ago

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

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 month ago

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

[-] KuraiWolfGaming@pawb.social 8 points 1 month ago

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

How might one acquire such onions?

[-] heydo@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

You grow them... in soils without sulfuric compounds...

Do people read anymore? /s

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month 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.

Crunchy (hopefully, instead of sticky), watery, spicy - all at the same time. Sounds intriguing

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

If you ever have a wicked head cold snack on some raw white onion. Makes my sinuses run like a god damn firehose.

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I have one right now... but no access to an onion. I'm at the airport. Perhaps in the duty-free zone. Thanks for the advice

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.

It's even more hilarious to me because both my kids hate onions in their food. But crispy fried onions? Irresistible!

[-] mrpants@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

I feel this way about a lot of food textures and what does/doesn't go together.

Could be the same for your kids.

[-] Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

Jokes on them, caramelised onions are damn good both alone or in burgers.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month 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 27 points 1 month 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.

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

As a toddler I'd eat onions and tomatoes like apples.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

That sounds really good

Apples are too sweet to add candy to

[-] RealFunAtParties@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month 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.

never really liked the combo, apples/caramel. always eat them both separately

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month 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.

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Calm down, Jason

[-] Solwolf@discuss.online 4 points 1 month ago

Good old memories

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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