Don't you have an andrew tate seminar to be at?

I'd use shallots more if they were more affordable. No idea why they're expensive.

In the quantities I use, I can't justify regularly purchasing shallot except for specific dishes. Cost per pound is too expensive. If I see it on sale I'll grab a bunch, but otherwise reserve for one-offs. In terms of flavor, it has a slight edge up on onions.

>>18786017
they are different things for using at different times you silly bitch

>>18786047
not where i'm at. i paid $2.50 for a pound.

>>18786047
onions only belong in soups and stews where you need large quantities. in every other respect, shallots are better.

>>18786017
>2kg of onions
about 1 euroshekel
>400g of shallots
i think last time i paid 4€
shallots can elevate many meals, but it's usually not worth the money

I basically use shallots for things that would require only half a normal onion. I'd rather just use one whole shallot than cut an onion in half and forget about it in the fridge until it is all dehydrated and flavorless.

>>18786017
This is like a, "I just started cooking 2 weeks ago and used shallots once" tier post. Embarrassing

>onions only belong in soups and stews
I've never heard of anybody using shallots on a cold cut sandwich.

>>18786017
i buy sacks of small onions, there is always 3-4 shallots there

>>18786172
>thats cap
deadass fr on god bruh u wylin bruh lmao deadass

I've never eaten a shallot in my life, what does it taste like?

>>18786017
I like to cut up raw shallots and mix it with cherry tomatoes and romaine lettuce with balsamic vinegar. It's the bomb.

>i buy sacks of small onions, there is always 3-4 shallots there
????
no
just no
Pretty sure you don't know what a shallot is.

>>18786233
Like an onion that comes in garlic cloves

>>18786233
Like a more pungent and powerful red onion, in the best way

>>18786264
do you think that cross contamination of crops isnt a thing?

>>18786168
groceries cost more in North America retard

>>18786017
I don't know what a shallot is, but I like it when food has onions.

>>18786017
what a stupid fucking question. there are literally recipes that call for both. kill yourself.

>>18786017
Shallots are better overall but for price and versatility onions have them beat out.

I guarantee OP would prefer the taste of onions if its price / weight ratio was greater than shallot's.

>>18786017
Don't they have different uses? That's like saying you have to choose between red and yellow onion.

>>18787572
>Don't they have different uses?
Yes.

>>18786607

They're like onions, they're really good. Try them out. I like mine in a vinaigrette.

>>18786607
any time you're pan frying garlic you can throw some minced shallots in there as well. adds a little sweetness.

>>18786017
>Slice/dice a red onion
>Soak in water for 5-10 minutes
There, now you have all the delicacy and subtley of a shallot when you need it for a fraction of the price.

i like to poop my pants

>>18786017
shallots basically dont exist in my country, I can only find expensive seeds

>>18786017
If I need a shallot, which is just a small, weak onion, I can just use frozen diced onion instead. Indeed, unless I need raw onion or I need a specific shape, I just use frozen onions and add a little extra to account for their weakness of flavour.
