I am not an onion fan to say the least. In my opinion people who use a lot of onions in their dishes can't cook worth a poop. Too many onions ruin clam chowder, green beans, meatloaf, potato salad, baked beans, cheese burgers, just about everything. Use about 1/10 of the onions used in most dishes would be more than plenty. Better yet none at all. Tired of onion breath, burping onions and pooping rotten onions. I will partake sparingly in a cooked Walla Walla sweet when I want to eat any onion. Yellow and purple onions are from the devil! Prove me wrong!

I like cooked onions. I like liver and onions. Raw bastards are cranking up my heartburn now, especially Whataburger onions.
Onions are life, along with chilies
Grew up without onions. My dad didn't like them, they tore up his gut allegedly, so they weren't ever in the house or anything made at home.

I love them, in just about anything.

Never heard of a roasted onion before, might have to try that. Seems awful complicated lol.

I had a Great Aunt who said "All good recipes start with peel an onion".
She wasn't wrong. Isn't much we cook that don't have one.


Heck, I like to fry them with a burger, then have fresh and fried on it!

Yep. I even like the raw Whataburger ones. But they give me terrible heartburn too.

Cooked ones are much better. Especially fried onion rings. 🤠

I love a spicey hot purple onion on my burgers. I would eat them in my potato salad but the wife won't eat them at all. Why have an onion if you can't taste it ?

I love onions cooked just about any way, hate them raw.

Whataburger will grill them if you tell them to. That’s the only way I’ll eat them on a burger.

Posted By: wabigoon Re: Enough with the ONIONS! - 03/27/22
I like onions.
I love a thick slice of Walla Walla Sweet or Vidalia on a burger, and diced into tater salad. About 30% of America's onion crop is grown within forty miles of my house. The local guys have developed an equivalent to the Walla Walla Sweet. As that is a registered trademark, they are marketed as "local sweet onions".

I shred regular yellow onions into our morning hash browns. There's nothing better than sauteed mushrooms and onions over a sirloin steak, or even a burger.

Momma goes through three or four onions a week in our house.

I love me some onions! I’ll cook 1-2 whole sometimes, put a little salt on them and eat them all!
I like onions in a lot of dishes but a few slices of a red onion uncooked on top of a grilled to medium rare cheese burger with a good bun and some mustard and ketchup is about as good as it gets.

Papalongdog: I absolutely LOVE the taste of onions!
Unfortunately "onions" do NOT love me!
So I have to leave off most onions from my foods and never use them on salads.
And indeed "liver and onions" is about the only exception I clearly make - and am willing to suffer the "consequences" for.
The VarmintWife especially loves "onion rings" and the "bloomin onion" from Outbacks.

Onions are the world's most perfect food. Makes everything, EVERYTHING, better. Even Jell-o. Only a fool would think otherwise.
My wife just made a tater salad, one whole yellow onion is a must. I'm getting ready to grill some burgers, onions will be a requirement on them also.

good sweet onions can't be beat. vidalia specifically although a walla walla or sweet spanish will do too. but you can definitely overdo a dish with too many or wrong type of onion. those little yellow cooking onions can overpower a dish.

No proof needed.
God created onions.

Vidalia sweets and Texas 10-15Y are the best green onions. Reds are best all around.

Bet you put sugar in your cornbread and you don't eat jalapenos, cayenne or serrano peppers either.

....and you prolly put beans in your chili! 😉
Posted By: Cheesy Re: Enough with the ONIONS! - 03/27/22
Grilled whole, but kinda slit open the top half awesome blossom style and baste with butter and wosterchire sauce while grilling steaks is awesome. Maybe microwave for a few minutes ahead of time to soften them more quickly.

Beyond that, about anyway is pretty good.

Not to argue that it may taste OK, but the presentation is crap.

I want to see brown on the burger! Just my preference. Brown on the outside, pink inside.
I love onions (especially Walla Walla Sweet onions) on everything.
