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

Death cap mushrooms with bacon make it even more deadly.

Big slab of onion and some blue cheese crumbles.

Whoever he is, he looks eminently hateable.

My mother would cut a Vidalia onion in half and eat half of it like an apple with a bowl of pinto beans.

Sounds delicious.

Agreed. Beef should never come in contact with water. The best stew is where the meat is cooked separately, the juices are mixed in with the veggies, and the meat is added at the last minute.

Feta + hamburger these days for me. Made from cows milk but is OK enough. I have eaten real feta from sheep milk many times in my life. The most memorable was buying at Mt Desert Island, Maine at her farm house.

Hmm, cheese or bacon? ¿Por qué no los dos?
