Anon remembers Halloween 1995

Some parents are just ignorant assholes.

For real. Waiting until Halloween to introduce them to the deliciousness of caramelized onion...

I have a theory that most people's favorite food is actually onion. We like them sweet, spicy, pickled, and in breakfast omelettes, lunch sandwiches, and alongside dinner proteins. There isn't much that isn't improved or at least complemented by an onion.

In my mind its not cooking unless it involves cutting an onion
- Old Ukrainian recipe: fry garlic and onions in a pan with butter, then decide what to have for dinner
- Golden sauteed onion is gourmet shit.
Onions are s-tier
- Agreed nothing adds flavor layers to a dish like an onion can
But just raw dogging onion sounds like hell.
- College friend of mine used to eat 'em like apples. Ugh.
- That’s my favourite way to eat ‘em!
- When I chop onions I will just grab a few pieces to snack on raw while I cook the rest.
- The burning is the best part.
- Vidallia onions are decent raw. We put big 1/2 thick slabs on burgers that way. Carmel probably wouldn’t hurt in the OP’s case either.
Love the taste of 'em, but onions also give me awful gag reflex to the point I need to have them removed from my food. Otherwise I risk vomiting on the spot D:
I would add potato to that list. People fucking love potatoes on lots of forms.

Onions grown in soils without sulphuric compounds are actually very sweet and tasty without any oniony flavour.

Also just if they are cooked. Caramelized onion is amazing.
- The only way I do white onion on my burgers. So good.
How might one acquire such onions?
- You grow them... in soils without sulfuric compounds...
  
  Do people read anymore? /s
- Search for sweet onion farms in your country. They are rarely available in the shops.
- Try 'Walla walla' or red onions
  
  I never use white onions when cooking 🤢
Is that what japan onions are like? I dislike onions intensely, I had a meal that was 30 percent onion in japan and i had no issue finishing it. It went well with the peppered beef.
- I don't know what the soil composition of Japan is, but shouldn't it be high in sulfur considering it's a volcanic archipelago?
- Do you normally dislike cooked onions? Raw onion is very oniony, but cooking really mellows them out.
- Probably.

Now I'm curious...

Crunchy (hopefully, instead of sticky), watery, spicy - all at the same time. Sounds intriguing
- If you ever have a wicked head cold snack on some raw white onion. Makes my sinuses run like a god damn firehose.

Just this morning, my 7yo kid asked for a side of crispy fried onions to eat with his chocolate croissant. This is not the first time.

It's even more hilarious to me because both my kids hate onions in their food. But crispy fried onions? Irresistible!

Same. For me it's a texture and appearance thing. I just don't like the look of cooked onions.

But the flavor of onions is great to me so if they're raw red or sweet onions or cooked into something but undetectable I love emm.

I feel this way about a lot of food textures and what does/doesn't go together.

Could be the same for your kids.

Jokes on them, caramelised onions are damn good both alone or in burgers.

Caramelized onions are, sure. But i'm assuming the 4chan poster bit into a raw onion with a Carmel glaze, however, which does not seem appetizing to me.

One Christmas extended family had a Christmas gift exchange, one uncle had made a "gag gift", it was a piggy bank with pennies, I got it, he felt bad but to everyone's suprise, I was estatic. I was 5 and collecting coins, a piggy bank filled with loose change was the best present.

As a toddler I'd eat onions and tomatoes like apples.

That sounds really good

Apples are too sweet to add candy to

I think the apples that are typically used are the sour varieties so that there is a flavor contrast when biting in to it. This is just what I heard though, I usually don't like whatever is covering them.
- It depends who makes them. The ones pre made at like a fair or store that are huge are usually sweet. Tart apples don't tend to grow big.

never really liked the combo, apples/caramel. always eat them both separately

Try slicing a tart apple like granny smith and dipping it into caramel. Worst case scenario, you can stop combining them and just eat them separately.

You fool! That's an Aggie 1015Y super sweet onion! You've given him the taste of the good stuff and doomed us all!

Calm down, Jason

Good old memories
