Some parents are just ignorant assholes.
I have a theory that most people’s favorite food is actually onion. We like them sweet, spicy, pickled, and in breakfast omelettes, lunch sandwiches, and alongside dinner proteins. There isn’t much that isn’t improved or at least complemented by an onion.
Old Ukrainian recipe: fry garlic and onions in a pan with butter, then decide what to have for dinner
As a kid when I saw the movie Holes, I was so tempted to start eating onions like apples, like they do in that scene at the oasis. I also went home after the movie and dug a big hole in the backyard because I was a fucking weird ass. Still am. Never ate an onion like that, but damn they made em look tasty.
Now I’m curious…
Crunchy (hopefully, instead of sticky), watery, spicy - all at the same time. Sounds intriguing
If you ever have a wicked head cold snack on some raw white onion. Makes my sinuses run like a god damn firehose.
I have one right now… but no access to an onion. I’m at the airport. Perhaps in the duty-free zone. Thanks for the advice
Just this morning, my 7yo kid asked for a side of crispy fried onions to eat with his chocolate croissant. This is not the first time.
It’s even more hilarious to me because both my kids hate onions in their food. But crispy fried onions? Irresistible!
Same. For me it’s a texture and appearance thing. I just don’t like the look of cooked onions.
But the flavor of onions is great to me so if they’re raw red or sweet onions or cooked into something but undetectable I love emm.
I feel this way about a lot of food textures and what does/doesn’t go together.
Could be the same for your kids.
Jokes on them, caramelised onions are damn good both alone or in burgers.
