>that glorious feel when you can eat an onion like an apple
gotta be one of my favorite vegetables

>>5431633
> that face when nothing to eat so grill up onions and put it on bread

>>5431639
that's pretty cool. I can almost do it with a white onion, but.... i bitched out about half way. Still, if i was in a survival situation and had an onion tree, i would be set.
> onion tree, yeah that was a joke

>>5431640
I'd eat it. Did you put anything else on it?

>>5431642
you gotta do it with a red onion nigger, white onions are for cooking

>>5431650
Aren't red onions more potent or is it just me?

I dont eat raw onions
what of it bitch

>>5431653
no wonder ur fat

I can't eat onions because I'm allergic

what's it like, ck? They smell nice and are pungent

>>5431663
ur mum

>>5431652
they're more pungent but not potent. not good for cooking imho. white or vidalia are the best onions for sauteeing and such.

>protip, pinch your nose shut and bite into an apple, onion, or raw potato and try to guess the differences

>>5431644
nope. Just added a little garlic clove during the grilling, on vegetable oil... its basically like the grilled onions they put on top of In-N-Out burgers, but its on top of plain toasted bread. Although the bread isn't like Wonderbread bullshit, its some nice french bread

>>5431673
>not good for cooking imho
Which is funny because I always see so many people suggesting them for sauteeing. I prefer white onions any day for caramelizing and cooking.

>>5431678
That sounds nice.

>>5431680
anyone who suggests red onions for cooking is person who's never eaten food in their life

>people who don't like broccolli

>>5431685
cool, thanks! haha.

>>5431693
every time i eat broccoli, i just get mad at it for not being califlour.

I guess that's what white couples with black kids feel like every day.

>>5431673
jesus christ

>>5431697
wat?

I feel this way about cabbage i guess. It's ok in a taco, but its very boring by itself and makes me regret buying it.

>>5431697
>preferring cauliflower to broccoli

>that feel when rubbed broccoli in olive oil and broiled it until slightly crispy last night for dinner
hnnnngh

>>5431686
can you tell me the secret to onions? i want to know the most pompous rules for onions. Like you know those dinners with like 5 sets of forks? Or the guys that match wines with meals? Do something like that for me.

So, tell me, what is appropriate for the following type of onions:

> White onions
> red onions
> yellow onions
> green onions
> shallots
> chives
> mexican onions (pic related)

I want to know. Seriously. Tell me.

>>5431702
Cabbage cooked with some bacon is nice.

not a fan of the texture of onions, but I'm fine with them cooked

fuck raw onions though

>>5431702
i hate regular cabbage, like fresh... and i hate it steamed or boiled.

but i love pickled cabbage, like saurkraut or russian stye cabbage, and i love it fried up with some sausage slices

also, i love fresh tomatoes... but i cant stand pickled tomatoes or any type of warm/cooked tomato - fried/baked/steamed/whatever.

For the tomatoes it's about texture - i hate slimy acidic vegetables. For the cabbage its about taste.

>>5431703
you look at pic and you REPENT

>>5431708
I think a lot of people feel that way. I love onions, probably my favorite vegetable, but they're way too overpowering raw. Cooking them,even just a little bit makes such a huge difference.

>>5431668
If you're serious I have feels for you bro, I eat onions in 90% of my meals. To describe the taste would be difficult, I guess they taste similar to how they smell, when grilled they lose a lot of the sharp taste and get a bit sweeter. Just eat some and go to the hospital, just once.

>>5431713
Sauerkraut, sausage and a little bit of mustard is fucking amazing.

>>5431702
>>5431703
>>5431707

What you know about that?

>>5431713

I HATE cabbage, but I love Savoy Cabbage.
Give it a try, it's like night and day. If anything they should be given a different name... Savoy cabbage is related to cabbage about as closely as broccoli is...

>>5431702
>cabbage okay in a taco
fish taco*
also borscht and colcannon
>>5431704
>white/yellow onions are for cooking
>red are raw for garnish
>green and shallots and chives are the same thing, good for garnish/bagel spreads/soups
>mexican onions
those are chives/green/shallots

>>5431723
cool, never heard of it before! Thanks for the tip, ill try it out!

>>5431730
okay, so basically, don't cook red onions. Cook yellow/white. And use green and red as garnish.
Got it. THanks!

can someone in this thread do me a favor? I'm dry aging the beef thing in this thread: >>5430876

but, it already 404d once. Can someone bump it, make sure it doesn't fall off? I'll cook you a steak if you come to L.A.

>>5431745
not your personal army

>>5431686

Whoa there chief!

Cut red onions super thick, like 1/2", oil/salt em and throw those over some super hot mesquite charcoal fire, and you got yourself an amazing experience.

Though packing as many green onions on said fire is preferred, the red onion "plates" are still fucking amazing.

There are no hard and fast rules.

>>5431730

Expanding on this a little:

> White onions
Depends on the species, some can be eaten fresh on sandwiches/burgers, you can cut em thick too. They can be sweet and crisp and still have an onion flavour.

The 'other' white onions you use where onions are 'visible' (yellow might be used, depends on recipe). Frenched onions in a dish are usually white, cooked lightly to translucence but firm only, never further.

> red onions
Slice PAPER-fucking-THIN toss em in salads, or crumple em up and toss em on burgers and sandwiches. If you batter em and deep fry em they make really good toppings on a lot of things.

> yellow onions
The workhorse. These you chop super fine and make disappear into soups and stews. These are the base for flavour. SHARP pungent flavour, can easily dominate any dish if you let it, BUT if you let it cook out, they add layers of flavour too.

> green onions
NOT just decoration... I hate people that think that. Green onions are awesome. They add a distinct flavour that's all their own. It's literlaly the flavour of "fresh". Generally you don't cook em, and if you do, it either commonly a very short time, like at the end of a stir-fry, or less common grilled em mass and eaten straight.

> shallots
My favorite. I replace onions and/or garlic a lot with these in cooked preparations. They just taste like awesome to me.

> chives
I never use em tbh... Sadly I never have. Nothing against em, just never bothered.

> mexican onions (pic related)
Also called "Spring Onions" to sell em to white folks... They possess a slightly more versatile toolbox. They are POTENT sometimes, but in the right ways. They do well in fresh preparations like green onions but with the volume turned WAY up. Salsas are the obvious choice for an example.

>LEEKS
The missing link. I eat these all the time... and I don't know why. They really taste of their own. Cut em super thin, they're kind of um... creamy? Sort of? never raw...

Hope that helps.

>>5431863
Ugh, man, I hate when my mom males salads with red onions. She just throws these massive chunks in that overpower the shit out of everything if you chomp down on one. I love onions, but that shit is awful.

>>5431863
confirmed for knowing nothing about onions

>>5431633
Without onions, there is no balance.

>>5431693
This.

>>5431870
Confirmed for acting like a complete faggot.

>>5431863
>mexican onions
>Also called "Spring Onions" to sell em to white folks
Fuck off cunt.

>>5431663
shrek tho

>>5431673
the acid or whatever still travels up the nose from the inside
the burn on the tongue is otherwise no trouble to me

>>5431720
Wow, I have to try this. Is the recipe just called Cabbage Sausage? (So I can search after it)

>>5431663
Probably better shape than you and I can't stand onions. Shit is nasty.

>>5431717
i'm serious, it blows ass. I went to grill'd tonight and the person felt so bad they just gave me my burger for free

I would do that but I'm not a resident of this country yet so I'd be paying out the ass for a visit. It will be something to try one day!

>>5431633

I just have to comment on the woman in this picture.

What do you think someone's state of mind has to be, in order for them to get like that? Do they have self-esteem? Have they just given up on certain aspects of life? What are they like intellectually? Might they be erudite, well-read people with sophisticated opinions?
