The Texas 1015 Sweet Onions are OK, but not nearly as ood as Walla Wala Sweets. There is a magnificent onion that is locally available in Texas, during a one-month window (which just started).
Noonday onions -- grown in the vicinity of the Noonday community (near Tyler).
Sweet, full of flavor, just enough heat to highlight the flavor. Fabulous when broiled on the grill (in foil, with butter and worcestershire).

What gives is that the agriculture sector and the welfare pimps have been very effective at lobbying Congress. It goes on because parents take the path of least resistance.

I remember raw onion slices served in the cafeteria in elementary school in Huntsville. I always thought it was a regional thing. (loved them BTW)

“Try a quarter inch slice of a fresh Texas Sweet Onion, on good wheat bread and slathered with Miracle Whip, then add a generous amount of black pepper.
Better than a burger.”
I will completely agree with you (although I prefer my more local Vidalias ;) ).
Then if you add a slice of fat garden tomato, and a big glass of milk, yum-O!!
Give me a nap after that, and life is grand.

When I was pregnant with my second child and before I KNEW I was pregnant, I had serious cravings for onion sandwiches. I ate them every day for at least two weeks. Onions, mayo, white bread and loads of salt. Never did figure it out but at the time, they were heaven.

Sorry. By definition, anything that has been even anywhere near a container of Miracle Whip is inedible, as well as possibly toxic to human life.
I once worked on a project where we bought the easements for a pipeline running from a refinery to a facility where Kraft manufactured Miracle Whip. The product to be transported to Kraft was asphaltene residue, i.e., that stuff from the bottom of the barrel after you've cracked the usable asphaltenes off.
I asked, "Why does Kraft want this god-awful petroleum waste product?"
"It's a feedstock for Miracle Whip. Hey...they want it, we'll ship it to 'em."

Serve them and tell the kids to thanks Mrs Obama for them!

I agree on the Wala Wala, on on the west coast we get a lot of so called sweet onion, they rarely are. Have to drive back through Texas and Oklahoma to get the genuine article. The last few times I tried Vidalia sweets, I could have saved money by bying the old standard yellow onion, they were really hot and not in the least sweet.

By next year, those DC school kids may be grasping turnips in their grubby hands and swearing:
“as meshell obama is my witness, I will never go hungry again....!!”
maybe that raw scallion snack was from the Sidwell Friends school menu of snack recipes....
Then again....naw

The kitchen help who bagged the snacks probably had no idea what a

Could it be that the “ONION LOBBY” has made progress?

I'm one of those odd people who has to avoid onions.:-( They shut down my digestive track and are a guarantee of a sick headache to come.

I don’t think you’re supposed to put raw onions down there.
