They got them good good aromatics! The aromatics in onions and garlic are actually sulphur based, this is what makes them potent when cooked and why onions make our eyes water!!

I thought it was because I love onions so much I cry! I'm tearing up right now...

Add ginger and tomatoes and you've got the base for most Indian food.

Garlic and onions 🤢🤮

Nah, it's far more things than just those. I'm guessing the person who made this doesn't have anyone who's good at cooking around them. I used to have a friend who was like that, he and his gf only cooked 3 or 4 dishes and they were all bland as fuck. The only spices etc. they had were salt, pepper, thyme and a huge 1-litre box of cheap taco seasoning. Whenever I cooked for them, they were blown away, and I tried giving them some other species, but they never used them.

Im not doubting your story, but yes just those three things smell fantastic when cooking.

Onions sautéing in butter is the absolutely most fantastic smell ever.

Butter is great, and garlic is good but doesn't smell that much. Screw onions though.

[-] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

Garlic smells great. And you must be a fucking alien if you dont like onions.

[-] Gold_E_Lox@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

wow dude that must be hard, everything has onions in it!

It honestly bugs the fuck out of me how much I hate onions. I'm genuinely mad at all the delicious things I could try or make with them and I have to exclude them. I've tried caramelized, sauteed, fried, deep fried, raw, yellow, red, white, chopped, finely diced, blended, and all sorts of ways. Don't get me wrong, I eat the dish they are in, but somehow I can taste them and it honestly bugs me.

It's crazy to hear people hate this much on mushrooms and I think they are more of an aromatic and flavorful staple than onions.Umami flavor forever!
