I didn’t like onions as a kid, turns out my mother just sucks at cooking.
I thought my parents’ cooking was great, until I grew up and started cooking myself, and discovered I had a talent for it. Now I realize my parents couldn’t cook at all.
Now life is reversed, and I’m taking care of my Mom (Dad’s gone), and I do ALL the cooking.
I still despise onions though. That wasn’t my Mom’s cooking, I just despise onions. And green peppers.
It isn’t about growing up, onions just taste terrible to some people, the way cilantro or asparagus tastes bad to some. I know a guy who is fine with onions, but feels the way I feel toward them about CUCUMBERS, of all things. They basically taste like water, but he can’t stand to be in the same room with one.
Remember kids: all shaming of “picky” eating is just socially acceptable ableism, and you should be fucking ashamed of yourself.
Actually, telling me I cant call people names is bullyist and highly offensive to my culture. Maybe think about everyone you might be effecting first.
A yes a truly mortal sin worthy of deep shame in all those who commit it.
Found the picky eater
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.
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.
It also absorbs oil like crazy, so you have to be careful and when and how you introduce fats.
Children often just want sweets and unhealthy snacks, and it’s up to adults to make sure they get the nutrition their little bodies require. If a grown ass adult decides they don’t want to eat something, though, they likely have tried it and have their reasons for avoiding it. It’s really nobody else’s damned business.
If god gives you onions, squeeze them for onion juice!
Also, fuck lemon-cutting ninjas.
Okay but grilled onions, gravy and sausages is peak
You know what. I should. I should grow up. I already love onions. But this sends a message.
Fuck onions and fuck god.
I tried that once but it made my dick hurt.
This is amazing!
I love onions but OP needs to fuck right off with dictating how other folks should deal with food.
How about I forcefeed you moldy spinach
(in lackey voice) Yeah, you tell em OP!
If you are into people vomiting on you, go right ahead.
Love onions, but they give me migraines
That is the most unfair thing I have heard today. I remember getting that list of potential migraine trigger and thinking it was every single food or habit anyone could eat or do. I know they are trying to make you feel some control but it always felt so blamey. Mine were mostly hormonal and not something I could fix but now managed with menopause plus a small dose of estrogen & progesterone, the same amount every day so no swings. Which leaves relaxation as my only remaining trigger. A coffee in the evening on Friday usually prevents that.
But onion? That is hard. They are so foundational to cooking.
How is relaxation a trigger? I’ve never heard of that and am genuinely curious, because usually triggers are the opposite: lack of rest, overexertion, etc.
Mine always started with my period before, and I almost couldn’t get one at any other time. But that time of month is a sharp drop in energy and progesterone, I think the relaxation is the same sort of thing - a sharp drop in stress will trigger a migraine, they come while I am sleeping.
I expect that if it were possible to be relaxed at all times it would not be all migraine, it’s the change that is the problem.
Did have to give up fasting, that always did also result in a migraine but again, it only would start while I was asleep.
Indeed onion is life
Ewww, the texture of onions sucks ass. Even accidentally chewing a non-molecular piece inaide a mouthful of pasta makes me gag uncontrollably.
They taste yucky.
Cool it with the alliumphobia
Onions aren’t garlic.Huh, turns out they are …
I got Mongolian BBQ tonight (celebrations &c) and mine were like half noodles, half onions, and everything else was a seasoning including the lamb. Fucking amazing onions.
