Just use onions to flavor things. Soup? Add an onion. Meat? Cook it in onion or top with caramelized onions or both. Want a snack? Half pat of butter, sliced up onion and your favorite herbs and fry it. Making a sandwich? Onion slice on it. Theyre like 10 cents each and go with everything.

If you can find any correlation between test and onions in this random ass distribution you're sharper man than i.

i'm indian and we basically eat onions as a staple food. if not for poverty that part of the map would be the darkest shade. no one would accuse us of being high test

It's not about eating them, it's about eating them raw.

Also reminder that you need to actually work out as well.

[Anonymous No.9728021]

Daily reminder any effect of onion on test hasn't been collaborated by anything but rat studies and this onion meme comes from Reddit.

Indians also eat a lot of onions raw. they're had raw along with most meals. most indian side "salads" are just onions with lime and salt. most indian snacks are also topped with raw onion.

and saying you need to work out is a cop out. raised test levels will add muscle mass on their own.

genovese di napoli
first, you wine-caramelise 3kg (6,5lbs) of thinly sliced onion in either pure olive oil (but not extra virgin; just normal or pomace) or a mix of olive oil and animal fat (lard for most people, chicken grease for jews) and remove from the pan
then, you cook a crushed tomato and minced carrot and celery in more olive oil and deglaze with wine
next, you sear meat in the tomato-mixture, pork and/or beef for most people, chicken, faraona or other bird meat if you're a jew. make sure to use on-the-bone meat
finally, you re-add the onions as well as just enough stock to cover and bring the whole thing to the boil then allow to reduce, stirring often, until the agitation of the boiling stock breaks down the softened onion bits and turns the whole thing creamy and the cooking fat used begins to be visible again. use either veg stock or a stock that matches the meat being used
when all cooked, you stir in several chopped leaves of herb celery and lid the pot, allowing it to infuse while you boil pasta to serve it on

if it sounds confusing, i can provide a video from yt, but it will be in spaghettispeak rather than english, sorry

surprised myanmar isn't darker since just about all their stews and curries are basically based on chingchong-style genovese di napoli. delicious food they've got there

[Anonymous No.9730346]

>>9730244
This might be sacrilege, but that sounds a bit like the process for some curries. Slow cooking a ton of onions, then braising them with meat down into a tomato based sauce.

[Anonymous No.9731656]

>>9730346
not sacrilege at all. the only difference is the herbs/spices and oils used, curries don't tend to use wine and that genovese di napoli only uses 1-2 tomatoes for all 3kg of onion.
as far as curries go, though, i only know of burmese curries and ethiopian stews which do a similar process with the extreme amount of onion but the seasonings and oil used are completely different.

I believe this is the study the rumor is based on. To replicate what they did in the study, the average man would need to drink a measly 2-3 ounces of onion juice a day. I'm not sure, but based on a video I watched, a single normal sized onion should produce 5-8 ounces or so.

Also worth noting the study was done in Iran:

hm......

[Anonymous No.9734757]

The best way to eat a lot of raw onions is to do it like the Iranians do it. Cook some kebab or real savory meat dish and have a raw onion cut into sections on a side plate. Have a bite of the savory main course, then in the same mouthful take a bite of raw onion. Pretty easy to eat about 1/4 of a small onion per meal this way.

>In this study, naringenin (NAR), 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN), genistein (GEN), coumestrol (COU), quercetin (QUE) and resveratrol (RSV) up-regulated steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StaR) mRNA levels in KGN human granulosa-like tumor cells. Most of the phytoestrogens tested also increased CYP19A1 (aromatase) mRNA levels via activation of ovary-specific I.3 and II promoters. Yet, only NAR (3 and 10 μM), COU (10 and 30 μM) and QUE (10 μM) also statistically significantly induced aromatase activity in KGN cells after 24 h. 8-PN, aromatase inhibitor letrozole and estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182,780 concentration-dependently inhibited aromatase activity with IC50 values of 8 nM, 10 nM and 72 nM, respectively.

You know what aromatase is responsible for? It's responsible for converting free testosterone into estrogen.

[Anonymous No.9735358]

>>9732600
no.
it's like a tomato sauce, only onion rather than tomato. an onion sauce. the sauce is served with pasta as first course, typically something like paccheri or other fork pasta. Then, the meat is served as second course.
with stew, everything is served together, it has a lot more liquid, and it's served with the starchy component (rice or pasta or puré or polenta) on the side.
