Do you hate onions?

[Herbsman.]

I say we gaffer tape electrogirl and forcefeed her raw, whole onions for 16 years. Her poop will be a translucent, sulphur-tinged gloop after just two weeks but it will be a small price to pay, yes indeed the side effects of onion therapy are worth the results.

 

[kittyP]

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.

You would if I cooked it.

 

[marty21]

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

my dad used to eat them like that, srsly, put me off them tbf, I told my mum I hated onions, never make me anything oniony I announced, for I hate them onions

my mum listened to me, nodded wisely, agreed that she would never make me anything oniony, and we were both happy

years later I suddenly started liking them, I couldn't understand why, until my mum told me, that she had made me oniony things she mixed them in with the mashed spuds, and I didn't notice


for years she betrayed me like that, betrayed me , her first born, her most important child, I was sickened by this callous motherly betrayal


but now I love onions

 

[Cheesypoof]

not liking onions is like not liking prince!

 

[tommers]

I presume you are single.

You presume wrong. Soon, in fact, there is going to be a little tommers running about and the first thing I am going to wean it onto is onions.


Mmmmmmmmm, lovely onions.

 

[Maggot]

It's great the way they are well layered and thusly lend themselves to metaphor.

Another point in their favour, I think

Like this:

Prince pre "symbol"?

Or judged over his entire catalogue?

 

[marty21]

excellent thread by the way

 

[cesare]

Oh blimey - no wonder you went all quiet when I suggested onions in your gravy on the what's for tea thread I didn't realise you dislike them that much. Yes, another onion lover here.

 

[electrogirl]

Ugh and my idea of HELL is a cheese and onion sandwich on white bread.

VOM.

Yeah, I didn't say anything because I couldn't handle the judgement faces I would get.

This is something of a 'coming out' thread.

You've all been reallu supportive, thanks.

Nope - in fact garlic is everything good about onions concentrated into a smaller more tasty package.

And you would find loads of onion & lumps of garlic in one of my spicy veg roasts - I've not had a complaint yet!

 

[electrogirl]

I HAVE ANOTHER ONION HATER! Radiohead, come into my arms, unite...

Well apart from the fact that garlic and onion taste totally different. And I still don't want to eat lumps of garlic.

Garlic should be dissolved, like the gangsters in Goodfellas do it.

that's one of my fave sarnies actually, mature cheddar, fresh onion rings, cut by my fair hands


thanks mum, for making me love onions


EG, you should get your mum to put them in your mashed spuds and not tell you, in a few years, you'll be eating cheese and onion sarnies, and loving it


'ave it

It wasn't deliberate, honest! I'm not a big fan of raw spring onion if that helps, repeats on me with oniony burps, yuk.

 

[tommers]

EG, you should get your mum to put them in your mashed spuds and not tell you, in a few years, you'll be eating cheese and onion sarnies, and loving it

they should be put into the water supply.

 

[dodgepot]

You remind me of the girl at school who refused to drink water because she didn't like the taste.

was she a show-off as well?

 

[Biddlybee]

Is it the taste or texture or both?

Do you have to avoid loads of food, or are you alright if they're chopped up really small and in a chilli or something?

 

[dodgepot]

And I still don't want to eat lumps of garlic.

wut!??! idiot. big chunks of garlic are lovely. i love pickled raw garlic cloves. yum yum yum. and when i'm chopping garlic i can't resist nibbling on the raw stuff.

 

[kittyP]

VOM.

TBH that sounds disgusting to me too but.....

 

[dodgepot]

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

do you wash it down with neat vodka?

not liking onions is like not liking prince!

nah, it's more like not liking girls aloud, really.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

...I couldn't be bother to cater for fence sitters.

Sod the fence sitters, what about the obligatory comedy option? You should know the drill by now!

 

[dodgepot]

hating onions is the comedy option, tbh.

 

[tommers]

do you wash it down with neat vodka?

Whisky. Lovely single malt whisky.



And Piccalilli.

 

[cesare]

I had the most horrible sandwich ever on the Isle of Skye (of all places) once. Asked for a cheese and onion sandwich and what I got was Mother's Pride bread with a huge slice of red leicester and topped with fried onions. Fried onions. WTF.

 

[electrogirl]

shut your face up. shut your big garlicky stained deathbreath face right up.

Texture and taste

if they're really really small, and not too many i guess. but really, just wish they weren't there at all.
