does anybody else HATE onions?

[TheSilverKnight]

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.

Raw, cooked, fried, whatever! I looooooove onions!

Long live onions!

[Don Corleone]

Onions are one of those rare foods that offer intense flavor in two directions: sweet and spicy. Not to mention, their flavor, when muted down by cooking tends to enhance most meat flavors (chicken, beef, lamb etc). I hated onions when I was younger, so I can sympathize, but they've grown on me and now they're one of my favorite foods.

By the way, I'm not trying to preach, you really should try to acquire at least a tolerance for them. There's something in them, and their cousin garlic, that's supposed to be great for your heart.

I usually only have Onions with burgers, same goes for salad, stunning...

Indeed - onions (or even better shalots) are great for making sauces. Also baked onions make a fantastic companion for grilled meat.

Did I mention onion tart or "tarte flambee"? *drools*

I would not want to miss red onions in Greek salad either...

Onions are also good for ones stomach.

Can't imagine cooking without onions, or garlic. Was raised on them, but do recall an adversion to them early on - didn't last long tho. Aside from peas (can take them in a stew, but not as a side order) and brustlesprouts, I'll eat about anything. Fried asparagus (with onions as an option) - now there's a treat.

Onions are nice as long as they are lightly cooked and quite crisp or crunchy. It makes me sick when I eat a burger or hot dog with onions that are either raw or soggy or both. uhhhh.

[Ayachuco]

French fries, curly fries, fried chicken, fried ice cream, fried anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(except for snails never did like em fried)
So as long its fried, ill stab it with my fork, then put it in my mouth, grind to bits, and swallow for it to burn in my hydrochloric acid in my stomach!!!

lmao, I think everyone else missed that masterpiece...

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

[Ironside]

Me, I hate onions, garlic and tomatoes.

That's incredibly limiting when it comes to food.

[TonyJ]

I have to admit I was slowly coerced into my dependence on cooked onions (and other things I didn't really like, such as garlic and tomatoes) by my hertitage: I am half Italian.

Could you imagine someone in an Italian family not liking onions, garlic and tomatoes ?? Truly that is akin to blasphemy

So here, completely unbidden, are my rules:

1). If it ain't Italian, don't eat it.
2). If you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it.
3). If you can't put it on pasta, don't cook it.
4). If you disagree with me, don't bother

Aaaahh, food, ain't it great ??

[Rurik the Chieftain]

You must bow to the almighty onion! Fry 'em, cook 'em, eat 'em raw, it's all good!

Onions are definitely a good thing. Except peeling them.

[Ja'chyra]

It seems that certain individuals are missing out on hte delectability that is the humble onion.

I see this as a travesty when the real villian of the fast food/sandwich world is, quite obviously, mayonnaise. They put this most evil of substances on everything, breakfast baguette with sausage and bacon and...............mayo. Simply Chicken sandwich with, you guessed it, bloody mayo. This stuff is the Satan of all condiments and should be banished from the face of the earth for being pants.

Anyway, where was I, Oh aye, onions. Onions should be raw or slightly cooked but still firm if not crunchy, when they get to the brown slimy stage you'd be as well eating, well, brown slime.
