i love onions but maybe they don't like me!

Post by VIP »

i cry when i cut them, i love them, but i think onions have to be limited by me! when i was a kid, i used to eat at white castle hamburgers, they steam the hamburgers with chopped up onions, very tasty! but they don't call them burgers, "murder burger" for nothing ok, are some onions less of a problem than others? i really love vidalia onions ! i like to use smaller longer onions scallions i think it is when i make double baked potatoes, any other good substitutions? thank guys

I love onions too, they are so versatile they can go with sweet/spicy or savory flavor profiles........... As for subs have you tried fresh shallots? It's like a cross between an onion and garlic...........

Chef's Notes: Fresh cut onions emit a vapor like gas that irritates the eyes...... Old wives tales about put a piece of bread in your mouth will help, doesn't.... What to do is cut fresh onions in a well ventilated area like open a window and or use an exhaust fan.......... That should help a little........ :D

Not sure if it is just psychosomatic but fresh onions in the evening help me sleep very soundly.

Run them under cold water. Helps a little.

Lol, I'm married to a Russian. Most nights that I come home late, she has already eaten fresh garlic and onions. I chop up my share and eat them with dinner. My wife is too white Russian hot to let a little fresh garlic and onions stop me. I fight fire with fire.

No sisters. I'm with you on the accent. Even beats the French.
