    Default does anybody else HATE onions?

    rant on:

    i really can't stand them. its mostly the texture of the things. i can't stand them in my mouth. so can anybody explain to me humanity's obsession with those things? why must they be on everything? they're on breakfast foods, usually with eggs. they're in lunch foods burgers. they're in low cuisine hot dogs, pizza; they're in high cuisine steaks. vegetarians and meat lovers all eat them.

    i am by nature a very picky eater. anal retentive you might even say. but at least with other toppings like say lettuce, it comes in one piece that you can just pick off. onions are usually diced into dozens of little chunks that you have to scrape individually off. and they still leave a taste on the food you're eating. i just get tired of saying 'no onions' whenever i order something and get looked at as if i refused the NECTAR OF THE GODS.

    sure there are things that a particular person doesn't like, but my main rant is i want to know why onions have to be included in everything from breakfast to dinner, from vegan to carnivore. what's next people onion-coffee? onion-candy? oh the humanity.

    rant off.
    indeed

    Have to say I love COOKED onions but detest raw ones with a passion - all I can taste whenever raw onions are in, on or near my food is - wait for it - RAW ONIONS

    I have to say that I also do not understand the obsession with limp salad on every single item of food you buy in the UK. Will someone PLEASE start making tasty sandwiches without putting those after-though little pieces of pointlessness in as well

    Guess I can always live in hope

    I disagree cooked onions are nasty (except lightly fried) where as raw onions are lovely!!!

    I can't stand onions either. I can't stand most vegetables, nevermind. The only vegetables I can tolerate are tomatoes (do they count as a fruit? ), lettuce, raw carrots (never cooked), and radishes...mmmm...radishes... Potatoes are good as well...forgot potatoes

    The onionmania is indeed of epic proportions. It may have to do with the feminine curves that the onion posesses, it starts rather small at the top and trancends in a nice bell shape. In the end we all want to eat our females, but that is only what I have read in Freud's 'the significance of onions and our rejected homosexuality' where he links oedipoes with 'cock' au vin and it's sexual relevance towards shetland pony's from greece.

    Onions are in everything. They are like ogres; unavoidable. *stares suspiciously out of window*

    Onions good! Mmmmm.

    But not in everything of course. Also onions aren't best choice, if *cough* interaction is to follow the meal. Partially solved if both sides eat onions, and garlic . Ergo: onions good!

    Onions...I hate them when I was 11 or 12 but now I actually find them good with certain food like beef (enhance the flavor) but having them raw is a limit.

    Still don’t understand why my dad like it raw...maybe I will know when I am older
