Why do I Hate Onions?

Onions are one of the most commonly used ingredients in cooking, but for some people, they are the bane of their existence. The question of why certain individuals hate onions is a complex one and can be attributed to a variety of reasons.

One of the main reasons why people hate onions is their strong and pungent taste and smell. For individuals with heightened senses, the aroma and flavor of onions can be overwhelming and unpleasant, leading to a strong aversion. Additionally, some people may have a genetic predisposition to dislike the taste of onions, as taste preferences can vary greatly from person to person.

The Texture is Unappealing

Another reason for the dislike of onions is their texture. When raw, onions can have a crunchy and slightly slimy texture that many find unappealing. This texture can be off-putting and make it difficult for some individuals to enjoy dishes that contain onions

Try lots of bell pepper instead.

Red, orange or yellow are the best bet. Use green if you don't like your dinner guest or are incredibly cheep.

They are .99 a pound here. I buy 2-3 at a time. Vidalia are good. Yellow onions have no flavor, they are the least expensive.

I always ask for extra onions when I get gyros. I adore onion rings!

My sister loved onions, then she got COVID. I gave her my ivermectin and she was mostly over it in 3 days and completely over it in 6 days. Now, she can’t stand onions.

When I was a kid I loved onions and decided to eat one raw like an apple. Gave me the worst headache of my life and I for years afterward I got a headache if I ate any raw onion. I can eat them again now, but my days of eating a raw one like an apple are over.

I do not like clear and crunchy. That’s why I don’t like onions, or celery.

I love toated peanut butter and sliced onion sanwiches. And Vidalia onions are so plntiful now that I put heaps of them diced in hot potato salsd. Onions, especially red ones, are full of quercetin which prevents the COVID virus from replicating.

Onions are much to be preferred over liver.
Even onions cannot save liver.

[KarlInOhio]

I hate raw onions. There has never been a sandwich made which has been improved by adding raw onions to it, as shown by the rings of them left on the plate at restaurants who insist on adding them.

I can accept them as a spice ingredient in recipes like having a quarter cup browned with the meat in a lasagna. But batter the rings and deep fry them and I will gobble down a pile.

[SamAdams76]

Sauteed onions and mushrooms are really good with steak.

Not crazy about eating onions raw but will if I have to.

[imardmd1]

The gas is plentiful and pungent especially when you have pickled boiled eggs with them, Chemically, it's really the sulfur in both of hem, sort of H₂S-like.

[Billthedrill]

Onions are a great source of vitamin C and were used on sailing ships to prevent or treat scurvy. The Brits used limes for that purpose but those guys drink tea, for God's sake, so you can't take their taste choices seriously. Tepid leaf water. Yuck!

I'm a great believer in toleration when it comes to this sort of thing - if you don't like onions, fine, but it means you're genetically damaged and should be put down like a rabid dog. Don't even start me on beans in your chili.

[Adder]

Oooo

Take the plunge...shallots, garlic, butter, peas...maybe some diced mushrooms...delicious

[Telepathic Intruder]

Or if you don’t have any guests.

[SaveFerris]

I love spinach and broccoli 🥦

Onions are great when done right

[dennisw]

My favorite hamburger has a thick slice of raw onion. I dip in some ketchup and have some cheese on the side.

[metmom]

My daughter says that there’s no veggie that you can’t eat if you put enough cheese on it.

Mr. mm says the guy corollary is that there’s no veggie you can’t eat if you serve enough bacon with it.
