I always leave raw onion on a plate in the kitchen for that airy flavorful scent.

Just love onions. I thought I had a bladder condition last year (turns out it was adhesions from endometriosis) and onions were the hardest of the “irritating foods” to give up. We forget just how crucial they are to bringing flavor to so many foods. Everything is just bland without them!

I come from the area of Georgia known for Vidalia onions. You really can just ‘eat ‘em like an apple’. I like to slice them thin, with some Wish-Bone Robusto Italian dressing, rotini and red kidney beans.

Comments on the Weekly Gardening Thread have inspired me to try Egyptian Walking Onions this year. We’ll see how it goes. I live on a farm and I’m good at raising livestock. Plants, not so much...

The recipe on the clay tablet was written by a lady called ‘The Babylonian Chef’. She was an ancestor of Julia Child (The French Chef).

Onion fans should try wild mountain ramps. Takes it to a whole ‘nother level, lol. They grow above 2,000 ft or so in the southern Appalachians with outliers found elsewhere. Sauteed they’re somewhere between spring onions and garlic with a little “kick” that’s hard to categorize, fine restaurants have taken to using them in certain dishes for a regional, wildcrafted flair. Raw, they can hurt you. Seriously. They’re the diametrical opposite of a Vidalia. Nothing mild about them.

Nothing on Earth is more foul, more disgusting than onions. Putting onion in food renders it unfit for human consumption. They rate zero, if not negative numbers, for their smell, taste, and texture, and obliterate the flavor of any food they pollute. If a purely evil entity exists, onions are his dastardly creation.

Onions have a good deal of Vitamin C, enough to prevent scurvy. There is speculation on what nickname the Royal Navy would have received had they discovered this before they found out about limes. People might have called them...French...
