Just finished eating dinner....who else here HATES onions?

[TK421]

Well, its my fault. I just polished off my bacon cheeseburger and was about to dig into my antipasto salad when what do I find?
THE LITTLE NASTIES
Thats right...onions. I hate them...I can't think of anything on this earth that I hate more (except this administration) It was my fault for not telling them no onions on the salad, and I just spent a half hour picking them out (of course they had to dice them up super fine). Anyhow-theres my rant.....BUUUURRRRRPPP!!!!!!!!!!

[Goldmund]

1. I love onions so much...

...that their mere existence threatens my atheism in weaker moments.

[demnan]

16. You know

I couldn't have said it better myself.

[Sugar Smack]

2. Your post may sink like a stone, honey!

I love you, but, your post may sink like a stone.

[TK421]

6. Damn.....so I am the only one

You do realize this is not a confidence booster for me, don't you?

[Sugar Smack]

14. Actually, darlin', I think you should have confidence

that you may have started the biggest flamewar around! Today, yet!! Good on ya, I say! :7

[Sugar Smack]

22. So I hereby retract my "sink" statement.

Enjoy!

:D

[TK421]

28. sniff,sniff...too kind, my dear...too kind

Though its not my intention to start a flame war, I just needed to vent about this. You see, I was starving and the salad looked really good. How can I describe it....it's like getting all psyched up to see that movie everyones been raving about, only to find out that it was the biggest piece of crap and a waste of your money. At any rate- Good night DU- my work day has come to an end

[Midlodemocrat]

3. LOL. Love them.

Just had a Bubba burger on the grill with onions. It was delicious.

My little one used to refer to them as 'white 'matoes'. She eats them raw and she is eight.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. I do!

Hate 'em! I pick the tiniest bits of them out of my food, especially the raw bits. My brother (who hates them at least as much) and I used to drive Mom crazy: "Are there any onions in that? EEWWW! I won't eat it if there are onions!" Nasty things. I've never understood why it's assumed any kind of food can be improved by polluting and defiling it with onions.

[TK421]

8. I notice that many restaurants assume everyone loves them

Some places will put them in your beer, I swear. Just the taste of them makes me gag

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. I've noticed the same thing.

So if I'm ordering something that is likely to be onionated (like salads), I usually ask about it so I don't spend half the meal picking out those gross raw onion bits and piling them on a saucer, where they sometimes stink so bad I can hardly eat anything. Onions... :puke:

[TK421]

20. I feel your pain, my child....I feel your pain

And every time theres a family outing, some relative is trying to get me to eat something with onion in it. Oh, I know all the tricks, like "There cut up so small, you can't taste them" BULLSHIT-If someone took a piss in my food, I imagine I could tell (even though I have never tasted urine, but it must be pretty close to onions)Feel my pain

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. I can detect raw onions in parts per million.

I'm like a bloodhound where onions are concerned. Can't escape the damn things. I'm glad to know there's somebody else in the universe (besides my brother) who thinks onions are NOT FOOD.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

5. I hate them, too

As long as I know they're well enough cooked that they're integrated with the underlying food, I don't mind them. But eating them raw, NEVER. My husband is Pakistani and loves to eat them raw. I shudder when I see him picking up raw onion slices and eating them. BLAAAHHH!

[Goldmund]

7. I do that --

-- eat raw onions with salt and pepper. Like apples. mmmmm

[TK421]

12. Dude....that is just ......foul

Now I must vomit-pardon me:puke:

[Goldmund]

18. It ain't as foul as McDonalds, that's for damn sure

haha :)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

21. My freshman year, at a pep assembly, the cheerleaders tricked us...

They did a contest. They had this contest to see who could eat a carmel apple the fastest. They picked one person from every class...and, you guessed it, everyone but the seniors got carmel covered onions. It was hysterical. And what was even more funny was the fact that the guy chosen from our class ate it the fastest.

31. Nasty! I love the buddy Christ, by the way

[TK421]

10. He must be a pleasure to sleep with after eating them like that

what with the breath and constant farting and all...

[TK421]

17. Onions are frigging evil

:evilfrown:

[BOSSHOG]

9. They are a very good cancer fighting agent

And I dearly love them. If my food doesn't include onions, it has Crystal Hot Sauce all over it. The capsaicin, while hard on the stomach and breath, is known to fight cancer.

Like Bubba Gump, I like em raw, or sauteed, or cooked or in soup or in a salad or piled on a burger or cut up and poured on a hot dog. MMM MMM good.

[TK421]

11. I would rather eat toxic waste

I'll go with other cancer-fighting foods just as long as they don't foul up the rest of the food I hope to enjoy

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Onions ARE toxic waste.

Although I will sometimes make an exception for Vidalias if they are very thoroughly cooked and in something, not all by themselves. Otherwise they are entirely hurlworthy.

[BOSSHOG]

24. Can't we all just get along

[n2mark]

13. Love onions

raw or cooked. They are a must in my foods.

[undeterred]

23. I HATE ONIONS!!!!

Really, I do. I used to go to great pains to pick them out of things my mother cooked! I won't eat them! I HATE THE WAY ONION LOVERS ASSUME THAT EVERYONE LOVES ONIONS! :rant:

But strangely enough, I love French Onion soup. :shrug:

[Maddy McCall]

25. Oooo....sweet Vidalia onions...

thanks for reminding me. Gotta buy some for the delicious potato salad I need to make tomorrow morning. :D

[TK421]

32. Why ruin a perfectly good potato salad?

Just...WHY JIM...WHYYYY??????????

[Maddy McCall]

33. Gotta have that little bit of sweet bite to it.

Flavor, baby, FLAVOR! :D

[solinvictus]

27. HATE THEM A GREAT DEAL!

Except on White Castle or Krystal hamburgers.

[Pied Piper]

29. I once had a roommate...

... who was absolutely "bitchin' in the kitchen". Her advice to me was, "If you don't know what to make for dinner, start by putting olive oil in the pan and add garlic and onions. The rest of it will take care of itself." Damn, she was totally right!

[mtnsnake]

30. The only thing grosser than onions is

getting stuck in a vehicle or an elevator with someone who's well along in the process of digesting some onions they've recently consumed. :puke:

[TK421]

35. Yeah...it's most pleasurable when its coming out the ass-end

Isn't it;-) How nice of them to share

[hfojvt]

34. as kids, no of us could stand onions

I thought adults only tolerated them because their tastebuds had lost their sensitivity.
