Anti Onion Thread

BeatNikDub

Sick of having to ask at the deli counter if the coleslaw is rancid raw onion free?

Sick of peering through or having sneaky sniffs of salad bowls only to find everything has been tarnished by the most evil of red onions?

Ever asked for gravy, only to find its littered with chunks of the vulgarity?

Ever ordered a chinese only to find it is 70% onion, 20% meat and 10% peppers/random other vegetable?

If so then join with me.

Also I have some seriously tasty recipes for dinners that require NO ONIONS.
PM's if you want them

brummytom

Onions are amazing, and an essential ingredient of cooking.

I can't imagine fajitas without onions
I can't imagine burgers without onions
I can't imagine life without onions

Seriously, they're there to bring out the flavours of everything else.


Oh, and food & drink forum -->

Balls! Onions rock.

Anyway, get yer arse over to R&R...

Meat is a flexible description. MRM: Mechanically recovered meat - read up on that and you won't touch processed 'meat' for a while and you'll be happyy to eat real vegetables like onions!

Thank you all very much - not you OP - Fcuk you!

Neamhshuntasach

Only that the onion stinged the fúck outta my dick i'd probably ride one again.

metaoblivia

I support you, OP. Can't stand onions.

Voltex

OP...got the feeling Onions are getting their own back on you for starting a thread dissing them?

BTW...onions are great...unlike their eveil twin Garlic!!

MrPain

I gotta agree with the OP, I despise onions.

Big Lar

Aw Man!!!!

You cannot live without the onion

• Cheese and onion crisps would become just cheese
• Liver and onions would be just Liver
• Onion gravy would be just boring ol' gravy

I could go on but............

liah

FU, onions are lovely, they go on everything. I adore cooking with onions.

I should make a pro-onion thread in retaliation.

ronano

i hate onions

they ruin food

stems from my blasted mother making us eat boiled onions,they'd get caught half way down your throat feeling like a slug oozing down as you wretch.

BeatNikDub

Move it to whatever forum is needed, I figured it was more general tbh.

Anyway, damn you all!

Gordon - have you never heard of onion gravy? I have certainly been confronted by the abomination at several incidents.

nb - I eat pretty much all other vegetables, just bar the onion.

ONIONS LOVERS BE GONE FROM MINE THREAD!

Cooking without onions would be like Laurel without Hardy.

This I have to whole-heartedly disagree with.
I never cook with them. Lots of garlic, vegetables and spices or herbs are more than enough!

This thread brings a tear to my eye.
Onions rule my world.

brummytom

My only problem with onions was my eyes badly watering when I cut them; I learnt a great tip a few weeks ago.. anyone else not heard of it?

Peel the onion, chop into quarters, as you would an apple.
Stick it in the food processor (with the blade attachment in) for about 30 seconds, it'll come out finely chopped. It's great

Rayne

Onions make you cry, nuff said!

omahaid

Gotta agree with you OP, onions are ****ing everywhere. WTF?? Does every dish need onions? My ****ing ice-cream, does it really need onions? And you know what, I dont even mind a little onion, but every ****ing meal has these gigantic pieces of onion. And thats not the worst part, its the onion that stinks and looks like greasy slugs sliced up. Really manky, I would prefer to eat sliced greasy slugs because at least it is technically meat. I dont mind a sensible amount of onion, its the fact that it is in every meal in large amounts. In fact, I sometimes wonder if every meal I eat is just onion!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Ruu_Old

Hate them, chunky bastards a yokes!:mad:

All the time. It is frequently ignored.
Thats my point in my other err points though that you constantly have to check as it something that people seem to lash into everything and assume everyone likes it. which isnt so bad with cooked onion but even the smell of raw onion makes me wretch!

I think I'll go up to the kitchen right now and try it, if it works out well I will make an onion sandwich out of it

My name is URL

Onions are made of layers and layers of win

what other vegetable is capable of inciting such hatred and bringing tears to your eyes?

gtfo with this shit! =p

smiley girl

I wholeheartedly agree with you OP, onions are VILE VILE VILE
I hate having to ask if there are onions in whatever i am ordering but you can't take the chance not saying. People put onions in the best of things and RUIN them. Even when you pick the onions out you can still get that VILE taste.
Onions don't 'bring the flavour out' in dishes, they just 'put the flavour of onions in' dishes.:eek:
There are prefect lovely dishes without onions needed

The taste onions put into food is beautiful...

That's it onions should now be classified as a class A illegal substance.

even the thoughts of onions in my food make me shudder. hate the things with a passion

No onions,:eek: then there would be no cheese and onion toasted sandwiches.
God forbid!:mad:

They are Yum!

A sandwich ain't the same without the subtle taste that a sprinkle of onion gives...

Or for those without a food processor just stick out your tongue while cutting the onion. The acid or whatever it is that causes your eyes to water is attracted to moisture. Your tongue should stop your eyes from watering for the most part.
Works for me anyway....

No offense, but you're a morally and factually wrong Onions are the reason why I cook/live. I defy you to tell me somthing that doesn't taste nicer with onions!

MrPain

We need a pole on this matter.
