    For non-unitedstatesians: “French Onions” does not refer to the nationalty of the alliums, or the manner in which they’re cooked. It is a specific product:

      It’s definitely also the name of the manner in which they’re cooked though, at least regionally here in the US.

          Just because they’re not called French’s French Fried Onions doesn’t mean they aren’t French fried onions.

            Disagree. The can and brand matters for a fully authentic version.

            You can do an elevated version that uses haricots vert and fried onions and homemade cream of mushroom made with shiitakes or chanterelles or something, but that’s kinda a different dish.

              I don’t know what you’re disagreeing with, you didn’t address anything I said. Your misguided opinion on brandname gatekeeping doesn’t stop French’s fried onions from being French fried onions, so it just seems irrelevant.
