    Personally I feckin' love them and have onions in practically every meal. I don't go for the little sacks of small scrawny onions but for the pack of three big fcuk off juicy spanish onions. Great with every meal!

    Onions are magnificent

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Raw red onion in a salad or caramelised onion in the pan to go with a steak or something meaty.

    Abso-fookin-lutely

    You know when you're at a soccer match and you just have a hankerin' for some curry chips from the horrible van. I put a nice dollop of the chopped onions (meant to be for burgers, i imagine) into the sauce - mmmmmm

    it does get some strange looks

    Onions and garlic fried are the basis of every single trouser-wettingly good dish. I actually finished myself off thinking about that.

    An image of slugs squirming around in mashed potatoes comes to mind.

    I'm surprised so many people like them! I don't mind if they're used to flavour sauce but I couldn't eat one on its own.

    Oh and the little roast to a crisp onion pieces ya get. I used to have to buy them on the continent but they are stocking them in Tesco now, Danish they are. Bloody gorgeous, sprinkled over anything. Add a bit of crunch to sandwiches, onto spuds, over a fry up, into a sauce, it's all good.

    I'm a bit extreme but I really hate the feckers.
    Dont like their smell but it's the texture that makes me gag. If I was to bite into even the smallest piece unsuspectingly I'm not sure I could stop myself from vomitting.
    When I order Chinese (which I love) I have to make it clear that it should be onion free and I also check when the order arrives, if there are onions present I wont eat it and I go into a sulk for a couple of hours.
    It's a real pain because it's a basic ingredient in most dishes I love, especial curries.
    I wish I could like or even tolerate but I cant. Damn you God!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Trying to show off one time I ate a half onion raw like an apple. Served me right as I had stomach cramps for a full day afterwards. Gobsh*te.
