      But also onions release oils when the cell walls are cut so the more cut ones have a stronger flavor

      And I’m picking most of them out!

      …unless I’m with a pretty girl… and I have a chance… or I’m in literally any other kind of social setting where I might feel uncomfortable and uncool

      That said, I finally had a chance to try White Castle this year and purposely ate a couple sliders the way they came. Not bad. Oniony as hell, but I kinda get it. They were so well cooked it was almost like a sauce

        If you’re with a pretty girl and trying to get with her, skip the onions entirely. No one wants onion breath while making out.

            Fair enough!

            I do love onions, they’re a staple component of my diet honestly. But I do try to be cognizant of others when I have to meet with people face to face, it really lingers even after a good brushing.

          Also, you don’t want to be ripping ass all night if the evening concludes more… interactively than expected.

    I used to tell my parents that they don’t dice salad vegetables enough and as a result it tastes really bad and they’ve always given me the “ur a weirdo about it” stare but it’s true.

    Diced Is better most of the time unless you know what you’re doing, specially with vegetables

    A lot of the flavor of onions is released when their cell membranes are broken, so the way you cut them does change the flavor. Some cuts like minced are better for sautéing, since it will infuse more with the oil.

    I love onions! What I don’t love is not really paying attention and grabbing an onion labeled Vidalia and making a salad only to find it was a yellow onion.

    Mmmmmm. Burning. Lol
