I dont get it, would you rather fried onion?

All I can imagine right now is those dodgy £3 hot dog stalls which are carted around the west end at night.
I love fried onions of dubious origin. I wish those dodgy hotdog sellers sold veggiedogs :( :(

The person who makes the sandwhich. And because they're nice.

Yes they are

No they don't, not if there's not too much onion in there, and not if you brush your teeth or chew some gum or eat and drink something else afterwards.

Dont put them on your sandwhiches then

Make your own sandwhiches then

Yes, but they're far nicer with them.


RAW ONIONS ROCK!!!


indeed they do

one of my fave sarnies, roast beef, onion and tomato, bit of pepper, sorted
 
You gotta have onions in a proper ploughman's!

come on now...but seriously i couldn't eat em raw in EVERYTHING.I have em raw quite a bit though :)

*fans breath*
 
i worked in what is as close to a hellhole as i think i will ever get to
the devil has nothing on Griffith NSW
there i picked onions for 2 months
my fingers stank of onions for about 2-3 weeks afterwards no matter how well i washed them
onions rule, they are lovely, i should hate them but i don't, i'm blessed that way

:cool: :cool:
 
Anyone who doesn't like raw onions should be burnt at the stake as it's clearly as sign they are not truly human

I have a pal who swears by raw onion as an antidote to colds! He eats raw onion sandwiches and reports not to have had a cold for years. I don't remember him having a girlfriend either during this time so his breath is possibly a factor! :D

That's cos no one can get close enough to pass the germs on. ;)

Not keen on the really strong onions. Otherwise raw is good. :)
 
I balk at the thought of eating most veg raw - it's just wrong. However, raw onions aren't too bad. Prefer them cooked, but not at all adverse to some thinly sliced onions (preferably red onions) in a decent salad.

:cool:
 
Love pickled onions. Raw onions.

Love the SMELL of friend onions.

HATE the taste of friend onions.

Red onion in goats cheese, walnut and mixed leaf salad is teh cool :cool:

Raw onions are good. Yes.

onions IN cheese:eek:

nothing wrong with raw onions, though, or garlic for that matter (just not like this girlfriend of mine, years ago, who would eat raw cloves just BEFORE going to bed:eek: :( )

That came out wrong - it was meant to be a description of a lovely salad I make that contains pieces of goat's cheese, mixed leaf, walnuts and chopped red onion! :eek: :D

I love garlic and with another Frenchie in the house we eat a lot of it. Occasionally my boyfriend says to me "You have garlic breath". My response is to always breathe in his face :D

Oh and Pret A Manger seem to be the only place who put red onion in their cheese and pickle sandwhich - it really does make it even nicer IMO.

I hate bananas and I think they bloody reek... *pukes*

Bananas are ok especially with strawberries, cream and chocolate for desert. Mmm!

Banana smoothies are great!
 
raw onions are nice in lots of things especially shallots and red onions and with a nice shish kebab theyre essential but i dont like having them in a sandwich if im not expecting it and think that sandwiches with onions should be clearly marked as such

spring onions are good too especially in an omlette and pickled onions can be excellent when combined with cheese and onion crisps

Btw, my boyfriend doesn't welcome the garlic breath, I just enjoy being childish! :cool:
