Do you love onions? I do.

[geardaddy]

This is a program in Minneapolis from when I was a kid.

[The Polack MSgt]

1. What - no, wait... Wow That was neat. NT

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. No.

I hate them more than any vegetable that ever grew. They are vile and disgusting and they render whatever food they're in completely inedible. Especially the raw red ones, which taste like rotting garbage soaked in battery acid.

But Casey Jones was kind of fun.

[geardaddy]

3. LOL

Tell us how you really feel Ocelot!

I love 'em, but I know of many who don't.

4. Onions are the bane of my existance. Just the smell of an onion cooking makes me gag

Why, why why why why why why why why why why why why must every recipe include onions?

If I accidentally thank a bite that includes an onion it takes a superhuman effort not to throw up right then and there.

This is about cooked onions. I like raw onions in things like salad, pico de galllo, haburgers...

But cooked onions are just REVOLTING!!!!!!

[Donkees]

5. Have some Welsh Dragon Leek Soup :)

[geardaddy]

6. Yes please!

Yum!

[cwydro]

21. I love that cookie/cracker!

[irisblue]

7. Vidalia Onions Forever

[Donkees]

9. Caramelized Vidalia Onion Quiche

[geardaddy]

13. That looks deeeelish!

I'm a real man and I like quiche.

[sarge43]

15. Oh my. n/t

[sarge43]

8. Onions: One of the four basic food groups.

[geardaddy]

10. Yes!

[sarge43]

14. Leek and potato soup

Blessed by the Red Dragon and the good Saint David.

Potatoes: another of the basic food groups.

[geardaddy]

16. I grow leeks and potatoes in our community garden

just for the purpose of making leek and potato soup! It is the ultimate comfort food.

[sarge43]

18. Made a big batch this weekend. It didn't last long. n/t

[MicaelS]

11. Liver and Onions - mmmm.

One of my favorite meals.

[geardaddy]

12. I hated it as a kid

but now I like liver and onions, with bacon!

[MicaelS]

17. I especially like the liver friend in cornmeal. n/t

[procon]

28. Me too!

It's a twofer, I like them both, but sometimes there's more onions on the plate than liver. It's all because of the masked potatoes needing loads of caramelized onions... that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

[GallopingGhost]

19. My favorite way

to cook and serve them is as a side dish.

Cut them up, and saute them with sliced mushrooms (any kind) in garlic butter until they are lightly caramelized.

[geardaddy]

22. That sounds delicious!

[GallopingGhost]

24. It's really good.

You can use any kind of onions or mushrooms, and serve it hot or cold. It's fantastic served with steak.

[geardaddy]

25. That's what I was thinking

that it would be great on steak. Or even chicken.

[GallopingGhost]

35. Any meat.

Now I'm going to have to make it. Thanks, lol.

[smirkymonkey]

20. Yes, I love them cooked and raw, but for some reason, I don't like them

on pizza. They are essential for soups.

[geardaddy]

23. That is odd.

But I agree about soups. They are a key ingredient!

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

26. Oh, my...

...that was interesting 🤣 And yes, I adore onions! Once every now and then I’ll even have a raw onion sandwich: thinly sliced onion on any kind of bread that’s been loaded with good mayo (homemade or Dukes) and a little salt and pepper. Slab of fresh tomato in season

[procon]

27. Sliced purple onions and heirloom tomato sammich with cream cheese, tons of

coarsely ground black pepper, salt, a dribble of fresh lime juice, a smear of good mayo, all stacked on pumpernickel bread with pickled pepperoncini on the side. Good as is, but I add smashed avocado and a handful of alfalfa sprouts when I remember to buy them.

[deepthought42]

29. I was that kid

That insisted there be onion on my food. Delicious!

[Freddie]

30. Love them!

My mother hated onions so I never had them as a kid, discovered them later. Raw, cooked, caramelized...mmmm. DH picks onions off his hoagie (he only likes “a few”) and I add them to mine.

[Awsi Dooger]

31. I love onions, ketchup and tons of relish

Also some sliced tomato.

I have veggie burgers every night, in fact in a few minutes. Those are my toppings.

But it would mean nothing without relish.

Relish is one of the awesome words in the language.

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. One of God's most majestic, tasty, useful, and perfect foods.

I could not live without onions or anything from the family - red onions, sweet onions, regular onions, scallions, leeks, shallots, garlic, ramps - all godly, all awesome, all things that I would have a difficult time living without.

As I have grown older, I have become lactose intolerant, and that's been an awful thing. But as much as I grieve that, I am totally happy to give up all that goodness so long as I can still eat from the onion family.

[geardaddy]

33. You and I are cut from the same cloth!

I love everything in the onion family!

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. Totally!
