Yeah, 4chan makes a thread every day about how onions boost testosterone.

Grow your own.

There are lots of good, long storage onions on the market.

If the onions you buy in the store only last two weeks when you get them home, guess how fresh they are NOT.

If you smell like Listerine® or mouthwash, stay away from me.

If your breath smells like garlic and onions, we're friends

If you eat a raw onion every day, people will stay 6 feet away from you.

No wonder I’m so healthy. For decades one of my go to snacks is a sweet onion, a pickle and cheese. I’ve modified a bit, and have to be careful if my wife is around, but I’ve eaten sweet onions almost like an apple.

Here's one of my favorite pasta sauces: Genovese Sauce

Onion to carrot celery ratio: 1 kg (2.2 lbs) onion : 1 carrot & 1 celery stalk. It's a great winter dish that fills the house with wonderful aromas as it cooks all afternoon.

Eat enough onions and you definitely won’t get any STDs.

2 things:

I saw recently, that if you put a wet wadded up paper towel next to the onion while chopping it, it staves off the eye-watering effect. Does anyone know if this is true?

I used to have (might still have?) and ONION BAKER. Kind of a terra cotta tray with a rounded lid. Does anyone have or use something like this? Or do baked whole onions?

I love huge onion chunks in pot roast; I usually cut them into 1/4 or 1/6 sections.

In my 3500 sq ft garden I plant 200 onions each year. After harvest I store them like this



They will last six months like this. I plant them on Veterans Day each year and harvest in early May. Been doing this for many years.

Onions are also a natural source of Quercetin — which has some benefit with zinc and vitamin C against Covid, similar to Hydroxychloroquine…

I really don’t like onions. Put half of a red onion in a big stew last night and all I could taste was onion. Still taste it today. Blech.

I also don’t like chocolate, pizza, beer and football. So sue me.

When I was younger - in my teens - I used to make onion sandwiches. Thinly sliced white onions on white buttered bread.

I can’t do this anymore. Well, maybe I could if I slathered it with ranch dressing.

Now my mouth is watering...

Onions, because of how they grow, are very dirty snd need to be cut, and thoroughly cleaned. But nobody does. The other alternative is to cook them at a high temperature to kill off any microbes.
