I don't know what I would do without them. Onion is especially so versatile.

onion and garlic are the base of just about everything that I cook.

How long before some contrarian retarded faggots start calling them a meme?

>>12302113
>try to make some fried chicken
>no onions and garlic left
>think "it's gonna be okay I'm using all those other spices anyway"
>it ends up tasting like shit
Onions really are indispensable.

>>12301912
one time i left an onion in my fridge unbagged, and it soaked up on the smell from the fridge, and i ate it one night and it made me vomit.

garlic more like gimmick.

>>12302113
Same here pal.
I even keep onion and garlic powder just in case I run out of the real thing.

AHEM

>>12301912
I like onions a lot better when they're raw actually, mixed with other stuff that is. I find garlic a lot better for my stomach when it's baked or something like that.
When i'm taking a afternoon nap and i had pasta with garlic for lunch they're still present in my stomach, it's horrible.

>>12302113
A MEME

>>12301912
You forgot green onion.

>>12301912
I love you, onions and garlic. Great job!

peeled and chopped 2 large white onions with a teaclothe around my lower face (blocking access to my nose and mouth) and literally didn't shed a tear in the process

bit crude, but fucking effective

>>12302702
>doesn't know how to chop onions without getting tears

come on anon, this is common knowledge

whata the fug is happening to the garlice on the right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>12302713
have other methods but this is the quickest and least hasslesome

>>12302614
They deserve some pie

>>12302763
>quicker and least hasselsome than leaving the onion in the fridge until you need to use it

onions and garlic saved my marriage

I was watching some thing about the former cook of the british royal family and he said that the royals don't eat anything with onions or garlic in it. I'd kill myself.

>>12303069
>british 'cuisine'

>>12303045
Please explain

>>12303069
Why the fuck not? Are they allergic or is it just some arbitrary bullshit rule?

>>12303228
they are inbred

>>12303241
Well, yeah.

>>12302173
I use both fresh and powder at the same time.

>>12303069
Don't know about the onions/garlic thing, but apparently they eat a lot of straightforward traditional stuff with high quality ingredients (fish, game etc).

>>12303289
onions and garlic have been in England since the Roman occupation.

>>12303069

The Queen banned it because it makes you stink. I'm serious.

https://www.mashed.com/92925/untold-truth-royal-family-eats/

>>12303315
Correct, they planted wild garlic/ gypsy onions to mark the paths they had travelled. I live near the fosse way and there's loads. Alliums are literally the best thing ever.

>>12303315
Yeah, I just meant I didn't know how true the onions/garlic thing was. They eat pretty healthily anyway. >>12303329 is correct in that garlic is out and onions are limited.

I don't like ingredients being cold unless they have to be to prevent spoilage. It changes the whole cooking equation.

>>12304652
Cooking isn't a math equation, if anything it's more akin to a word search.

>>12304652
>cold onion changes the whole cooking equation

that's a pretty ridiculous statement

Anon... I

I love you garlic. You are always the first in my life. But onion, I prefer your skinny sexy cousin, the chive. Scallion when I’m tipsy.

>>12305476
Chives are in no way a substitute for onions.
Scallion kinda, but also not for a lot of recipes.
Shallots, maybe.

>>12304605
Aren't they really delicately flavoured, though? I don't want to use them in something pointless.

>>12305815
Yes they are. Slight onion taste without being overpowering. A superior form of onion salt.

>>12305833
Yeah, please make some caramelised chives and tell me how that goes.

>>12305838
>caramelized
Are you trying to meme me into thinking sweet=good?

>>12305842
Do you seriously not know what caramelised onions are?

>>12305846
Burnt. Soft. Soggy. Sweet. Gross. Nothing more to be said.

>>12305815
Shallots are the weak little brother who gets his ass kicked by garlic and has to be saved by his older, tough ass brother the onion. Scallions are the cute younger sister who ends up mixed into immigrant dishes. Chives are the downie who gets an award for having participated.

>>12305852
Nice bait.
That being said, chives are not a substitute for onions at all.
Anything that doesn't call for raw onions, chives wont work with.
Please sautee some chives in a pan, see how that goes.
Ever made chives soup?
But you don't actually cook, so this information is lost on you.
3/10 made me reply two times.

>>12305866
You’re still gross and trying to prove a moot point.

>>12301912
I use them too much

>>12305833
Chives are a garnish, retard.

>>12305873
Huh?

>>12305873
Onions are for tastelets, retard. You can’t go one meal without at least a tablespoon of sugar.

>>12305870
I don't think you know what a moot point is either.
>I prefer chives over onions
>Chives are not a substitute for onions
>You are gross

>>12305880
Your single brain cell is suffering. Stop replying.

>>12305877
Wtf are you saying?
Have you ever cooked in your life?
Is this supposed to be bait, cause it aint really working.
It's just confusing nonsense.

>>12305883
Stop saying nonsensical things and I will stop correcting you.

>>12305884
>>12305890
Samefagging doesn’t make you look cooler. Go eat a candy bar since you can’t go a meal without sugars, tubby.

>>12305895
>Replying to separate posts
>Samefagging
You are not even baiting are you?
What are you even doing on this board and what the hell are you talking about sugar for?
Literally google caramelised onions, it doesn't have to do with actual caramel, you absolute moron lmao

I love you

Can I make caramelized onions on a non stick pan?

>>12301912
I think an onion a day is the reason I have bad poos. The problem is that they are the only vegetable where I live that is cheap other than carrots.

>>12305952
yes

>>12306012
Thanks

>>12304614
We call those "green onions" where i live

>>12305846
Mmmmh yummy

>>12305971
>they are the only vegetable where I live that is cheap other than carrots
Where do you live? East Europe? Balkan area?

>>12305971
Eat more fibers.

I’m gay btw if that matters

Who here doesn't much care for raw onions but thinks sautéed onions are mana from heaven?

>>12306534
scallions

>>12301929
no one even got this, but I did anon

>>12307408
Is it not a datura flower or something?

>>12307448
datura is a deliriant. deliriant are basically like lsd except only the bad trip part.

>>12302122

At least you assholes know about red garlic, spanish garlic comes pre-mild. All the volatiles that ruin garlic while cooking are gone. If you don't use a large bulb with pink stripes in it, you're fucking up your food.

>>12308443
I'll put my large bulb in your pink stripe, mate.

>>12303724
I hate these guys. Too small to peel and cut.

>>12301912
>makes all your dishes infinitely better
I think you mean sadder

>>12302385
Rarely I get the little $2 bags of salad topper fried onions. I end up eating the whole bag at once. The rest of the day my stomach hurts and every time I burp it tastes like straight onions. It's an awful pain but man crispy fried onions are so good going down.

How do I chop an entire onion properly?
>Peel
>Cut in half over the waist
>Cut in half again over the "ends"
>Make a 80% horizontal cut in the middle
>Make 4-5 vertical cuts towards the end
>Chop across previous cut towards fingers
?

>>12310329
slice one way
then the other
This is more then good enough for literally any recipe its choping a fuckin vegetable not open heart surgey

Vidalia onions or get the fuck out.

>>12311982
>only eat an onion that is in season for 1 month/year, only grown in a retarded area of the country, easily damaged in shipment and immediately rots if you try to store it
So you don't like onions? Why not just say so?

>>12312196
You could say the same thing about wasabi

>>12306534
>>12307395
spring onions

Thank you for your service.

>>12302121
Do you grate your own spice powder? I'm wondering how the whole onion & garlic enter into fried chicken.

>>12304614
Good for topping fried rice with.

>>12303724
Depends. DON'T caramelize them like you would a regular onion.

DO saute them for a few minutes to soften and slightly brown them, then top them on something.

DO slice them, macerate them in lemon or tangerine or lime juice, and use on beet salad.

>>12310329
cut top off
bisect longitudinally
slice each half radially
slice laterally

>>12312713
a sharp knife. to shreds you say..

>>12313522

bisect, chop off the opposite of the root tips, peel to good meat, place each half on the cutting board and slice horizantally twice, then choose your dice thickness and run down the bulb, then dice it accordingly.
