Do you hate onions?

[Maurice Picarda]

I was thinking of literary uses- there might be an essay there 'The uses of Onions in Literature'

Anthony Burgess in Enderby: "She breathed on him (though a young lady should not eat, because of the known redolence of onions, onions) onions."

When its caramelised onion houmous. Yum!

Stop sticking fucking onions in my lovely houmus.

I didn't.

Just don't eat the onion stuff.

 

[electrogirl]

I didn't.

Yeah well gentlegreen implied that a life without onions was a life without houmus.

Which is basically mentally deranged talking.

There are probably a lot of people out there that feel the same about garlic as you do about onions.

Garlic is also the basis to a whole lot of dishes (including houmous).

What would you say to them?

If you don't like onions, how can you like garlic ?

 

[electrogirl]

If you don't like onions, how can you like garlic ?

Because they are different things.

yeah electrogirl, what do you say to THAT? How do you like THEM apples?

I found a new joy for you, probably not as good as the tesco one mind you... mayonaisse with a twist of onion and mustard

seriously. I don't know why you keep doing this to me. If someone came near me with that I would scream. I'm actually being honest there.

I would scream and retch. RETCH.

 

[electrogirl]

yeah electrogirl, what do you say to THAT? How do you like THEM apples?

Well like I say, garlic and onions are different things.

 

[gentlegreen]

Because they are different things.

How about onion soup, or finely chopped shallots ?

Or spring onions ?

 

[JTG]

Well like I say, garlic and onions are different things.

oh

thanks

 

[electrogirl]

How about onion soup, or finely chopped shallots ?

Or spring onions ?

I don't like any of those things. Especially not spring onions.

 

[kittyP]

Well like I say, garlic and onions are different things.

Yes but in respect to your OP, they are both the basis to so much stuff that its quite difficult to avoid them.
They are both strong in flavour.
They are both used together in a lot of cooking.

You can surely see why they would be compared?

That is a different question though, I don't understand why people were suggesting I couldn't dislike onions but like garlic at the same time.

I've only known one true onion-hater in real life & he was a totally neurotic Thatcherite tory cunt.

Good company then electrogirl?

 

[electrogirl]

The poll results are bullshit.

 

[Madusa]

I dont like onions. I cook with it cos I like the flavour, but I always pick them out of my serving cos I hate the texture. Raw/red/spring onions are fine though.

 

[Herbsman.]

Only pussies and vampires dont like onions

 

[Herbsman.]

well if by 'key ingredient' you mean 'guaranteed to make your recipe only taste of onions' then yeah. Totes.

then you must be some sort of hyperonionsensitive freak, unless you're specifically referring to a recipe that only contains onions. there is no food that only tastes of onions except for onions themselves

 

[pogofish]

That is a different question though, I don't understand why people were suggesting I couldn't dislike onions but like garlic at the same time.

Because garlic is a form of onion maybe?

 

[tommers]

I eat onions whole. Like an apple. Like a motherfucking apple.

 

[electrogirl]

Because garlic is a form of onion maybe?

Yeah I see where they are coming from, but it's still a load of crap because they are so different.

And I don't find big lumps of garlic floating around in my bolognese.

 

[kittyP]

That is a different question though, I don't understand why people were suggesting I couldn't dislike onions but like garlic at the same time.

I didn't suggest you couldn't like garlic whilst disliking onions.

I was just curious as to your views on the comparison.

 

[electrogirl]

I eat onions whole. Like an apple. Like a motherfucking apple.

I presume you are single.

 

[Herbsman.]

I eat onions whole. Like an apple. Like a motherfucking apple.

sweet.

 

[Madusa]

I eat onions whole. Like an apple. Like a motherfucking apple.

That's really bizarre.
