If you don't like onions you should try cooking them in butter on low heat for 30-45 minutes until they're a deep amber and mixing them with sour cream, a bit of mayo, salt and pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Boom, caramelized onion dip.

Is his name Carm in the show because he's caramelizing from first episode to last, and finally becomes the onion we all love?

I am halfway through s4 and it's boring so I stopped watching.

Fructan sensitivity 🥲 I appreciate the flavor they add, buuut don't appreciate how they digest in my body. I carry food enzymes with me when I'm out though- kind of hard to avoid when I'm not the one cooking. I do want to try adding them to my oil infusions sometime!

Onions have their place, and it's diced so fine they're practically molecular.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

Agree. Excellent flavor. Gawdawful texture.

[-] BigDiction@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Raw, carmelized, fried, pickled, grilled.

There’s so many ways to eat onions and they all taste different. Someone who just ‘doesn’t like onions’ is like someone not liking potatoes…which version and what do you not like??

This is my wife... I then had to explain to her multiple times that yes you do like onions and also garlic. I know this because over 90% of the things I cook include one or the other or both!

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Tbf that's totally different, it's just a tiny bit, it's like saying that if you like ketchup you also should like tomatoes, it's not the same

I love onions but OP needs to fuck right off with dictating how other folks should deal with food.

I have a minor allergy to onions and can only eat them without suffering if they're caramelized or otherwise thoroughly cooked.

[-] dewritoninja@pawb.social 14 points 1 month ago

I didn't like onions as a kid, turns out my mother just sucks at cooking.

Can confirm. Didn't like onions as a kid, always thought they were useless and added no flavor to a dish. Got older, learned a bit more about how to cook them and now I like putting onions in things.

I always liked onions in things. In fact I liked all things kids were supposed to hate... Except for eggplant. I just don't like eggplant.

[-] BigDiction@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

There has always been a lot of poorly cooked eggplant going around. It has a ton moisture that needs to be drawn out through salt and/or roasting and frying to make it not be mushy.

Cooked properly crispy it can be delicious.

Fuck you asshole, I love onions, but I'm allergic. After a major incident I have learnt to avoid them completely. Luckily this seems like a common enough thing that onion free versions of stuff are usually available.

Tell that to my gut. You get onions in there, mushrooms, etc I'll be absolutely crippled with cramps, gas, and worse.

I'm glad people love onions. I don't even mind the taste. But you know what I like more? NOT being stuck in agony on the toilet for hours.

I loooooove onions.

But... FODMAPs... Ugh.

No more onions or garlic or mushrooms for me except for a once in a while splurge and regret.

I know the cilantro example is famous, but as a super taster and having other people with the gene onions are very divisive. For me, anything more than a hint is overpoweringly disgusting and the idea of actually biting into one directly fills me with dread.

Onion powder and garlic powder are both very preferable to the actual substance taste wise.

If you know someone in your life that really likes diet soda and other artificially sweetened things and even prefers it to the regular, they just might be a super taster.

If you know someone that finds wine, beer, tea and coffee horrifically bitter to the point that they can't even understand how you enjoy it. They may also be a super taster.

If you know someone that complains Seltzer's like white claw and lacroix are absurdly bitter and completely disgusting. That is likely because they can taste a profile called bitter two, which is prevalent in these things because they are a super taster.

I know nobody will read this and learn to quit bitching at people about what they like, but I figured I'd at least try.

Now that I'm done being reasonable:

Why don't you stop pussyfooting around with weak bitch shit like onions and actually use some real fucking spices from India and Mexico? Onions are for mayo loving losers afraid of burning their tender tongues, miss me with that shit.

I was never keen on them as a kid, only when I had almost purely raw uncooked onions did I start actually liking them.

[-] daggermoon@piefed.world 7 points 1 month ago
[-] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 8 points 1 month ago

I tried that once but it made my dick hurt.
