Anti Onion Thread

BeatNikDub · 04-11-2009 10:31PM #1

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

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 -->

El Weirdo · 04-11-2009 10:34PM

Balls! Onions rock.

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

Cormic · 04-11-2009 10:34PM

Onions are lovely. They are crunchy and remind me of Tayto.

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 · 04-11-2009 10:35PM

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

metaoblivia · 04-11-2009 10:37PM

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

Voltex · 04-11-2009 10:37PM

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 · 04-11-2009 10:37PM

I gotta agree with the OP, I despise onions.

Big Lar · 04-11-2009 10:38PM

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 · 04-11-2009 10:39PM

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

I should make a pro-onion thread in retaliation.

ronano · 04-11-2009 10:40PM

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 · 04-11-2009 10:40PM

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.

I'll support that one it should be called "The joy of onions"

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!

magma69 · 04-11-2009 10:42PM

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

brummytom · 04-11-2009 10:42PM

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 · 04-11-2009 10:42PM

Onions make you cry, nuff said!

omahaid · 04-11-2009 10:43PM

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 · 04-11-2009 10:43PM

Hate them, chunky bastards a yokes!:mad:

mahamageehad · 04-11-2009 10:44PM

i hate onions!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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 · 04-11-2009 10:48PM

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
