[Hot Tabasco]

One of the names for those onions is Egyptian Onions. When I first moved into my house, there was an old Polish couple who lived next door to the house immediately behind me. Mrs. Pretta loved her flowers and would constantly dig up clumps of flowers like black eyed susans and give them to me to plant around my house.

The house behind me was vacant for a couple years so I would plant some of Mrs. Pretta's flowers along the back of it and Mrs. Pretta also gave me the Egyptian Onions to plant there. The house is occupied now and the girl who lives there has expanded the growing area and she still has the Egyptian onions which spread like crazy.

From what I just read, the only edible part of that onion is the stalks

I don’t know if these are egyptian onions or not, but every bit of them is good to eat.

Except for the hairy roots part. That probably wouldn’t be much good.
