i saw this on FB and wondered if i made him a pot of rice that had sautéed onions in a satchel in with it as it boiled and then removed before serving, whether he would prefer that or plain rice? or if i caramelized onion and put it in a broth and then puréed it to an even texture, would he prefer that or plain broth? like, is it *pieces* of onion that are the problem? is it a textural thing? or is it actually onion flavor? and if it’s onion flavor, it it *raw* onion flavor, or is fully cooked onion flavor a problem as well?
like onions are one of the most flavorful things you can add to a food and i wonder if he realizes how much of the flavor of many foods is from onion, and i wonder if he would actually prefer those foods without the onion
there was a running joke in Volterra because any time someone was cooking something and it smelled good, it turned out all they had done was sauté some onions
Good to see Eliezer remains Objectively Correct once again
*onion-hater fistbump*
The flavour of cooked/powdered onion is okay, I guess, but onion texture is terrible and the pain component of raw onion is, well, painful. (I am possibly the least masochistic person on the planet and do not enjoy spicy food/horror/alcohol either.)
(I do like garlic, though.)
