Just shovel them into my mouth. 👀

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

I too love red onions.

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I'd eat an onion like an apple.

Related: Daniel Gritzer of Serious Eats explored different ways to mince garlic, finding that some methods significantly increased garlic's pungency/strength (and also that long cooking methods negate much of this difference)

Put your head in the freezer

I had a roommate that was obsessed with replicating the McDonald's dollar menu hamburger. He said the finely chopped onions made all the difference.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

They absolutely do. He is correct.

it's like different shapes of pasta all over again

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

None of those are "finely sliced rings", though...

Yeah every single cut here will fill your mouth with red onion gas like a WW1 trench fight. The bottom right is possibly acceptable depending on what it's going in. Top left could work in some salsas. Rest are just "chunks of onion."

Some people love it, but if you want to turn a first-timer away from fresh red onions for life, give them large ass chunks that overwhelm the rest of the dish.

Sorry, OP, that’s the way the cookie crumbles. RIP.

I'd argue that they all taste like licking a 9v battery.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Maybe I should start licking batteries, then. I had no idea they tasted so delicious.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

that may be a sign you’re allergic

[–] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

this well describes a taste I got when eating shrimp which otherwise had no reaction before I had a full blown puff your face up and trouble breathing from eating a different shellfish.

...one o'clock and three o'clock taste pretty similar and eight o'clock and ten o'clock are close-enough for most uses...

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

.......

yeah?

is this actually news to anyone?

For the 3 on the right side, it matters quite a bit whether you slice in direction from root to stem or cross, root to stem is much better.

I want to argue you, but I can't.

Top right, with sliced tomato, on a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese.

So good...

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 days ago

I'm not saying that leeks are onions (though they are alliums, i.e. of the same family). To me, whilst they do taste quite different to onions, there is still a flavour that I would describe as onion-y

[–] Old_Bald_Bloke@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago

Where's the cheese and apple?
