Raw onions that get put on salads and sandwiches are fucking disgusting. Cook that shit, so it is actually edible.

>> No.9729659

okay, serious answer here.

I've tried to like onions for a very long time because I fucking love Mexican food (legit mexican and tex mex). Most of the foods I enjoy (chili, mexican) are really good, I can stand a slight amount of cooked onion but nothing more.

The first time I recall my aversion was when I ordered a burrito from Taco Johns (without onion) and the last bite I got a giant, raw onion. I gagged immediately and spat it out. I couldn't do it.

I've been trying really hard to enjoy onion because it is in so many cuisines I enjoy but I legitimately can't get it past my tastebuds. it tastes like body odor.


My mom is the same way, so I assume it's some weird genetic shit like cilantro. It fucking sucks because Mexican is my favorite eithnic food and I want to enjoy onions.

I'm a pretty big onion hater but it's almost entirely raw oniocusinens. Cooked ones are fine and stuff like french onion soup is one of my favorites.

At some point if you like to cook you have to come to terms with onions. There pretty much isn't a cuisine on earth where some form of allium isn't the bedrock of it.

I don't understand how people can eat like a burger with a huge fuck off slice of a raw onion on it. They are so distinct and pungent to me even having one on it and removing it later makes most of the burger still taste of onion.

I don't understand going onions. I didn't like them a lot when I was a child, but that changed when I was about 10yo, I love onions now, I cannot have a burger or sub sandwich without them.

Onions + spicy mustard + lettuce = God tier sandwich

I don't like raw onions. Not ashamed to say so.

OTOH, fried or otherwise cooked onions - yummy.

It wasn't because of a bad experience; it was the first experience where I really overtly recall extremely disliking onions. It's an example of while eating the unexpected, it still was really fucking horrible tasting (as in, not a case of "oh my god I can't eat this because it has x in it and not even noticing if no one had pointed it out).

I've had onions in cooked curries and the like and that's fine as long as it's a small amount. The taste just is extremely overpowering.

what's it like being a complete pleb? It's okay to enjoy certain foods more than others, but to be completely disgusted by ANY type of food... it's a miracle your genes actually made it this far being revolted by anything that provides sustenance.

onions make my farts very not okay smelling
people have gagged when unfortunate enough to be around
this is honestly one of the worst parts of colon problems for me, my farts have always smelled bad but when i eat a trigger food it's unnatural how bad it is
the worst part is when i accidentally fart a little tiny one that doesn't sound at all and hardly feels like anything, then people cover their faces and leave the room

you'd think it's funny but when it's bad people get pretty seriously offended by the odor and exchange a lot of "what the fuck is wrong with you" and "what died in your ass"

This is, by far, the most retarded reason I have ever heard for disliking something.

Y'all niggas crazy, take a 1/4-1/2 stick of butter, put the onion in a microwaveable dish in there, salt the onion a little, put the onion in there for like 8-12 minutes depending on your microwave wattage, season with sea-salt and freshed cracked peppercorn to taste with it.

No, that's entirely overreacting. At the age of 18, everyone without serious health issues certified by independent MD's, should be isolated and forced to endure 1 week of water only.

Why do you keep going on about mexican? The thing that's special about onion is that EVERY cuisine has it as a main ingredient. It's the most widespread ingredient except for salt and sugar
