  - this plus when people add them to delicate flavours like eggs is dumb -- nm - zork Jul 22, 12:32
- I'm not keen on any onions, although green ones are sometimes acceptable. -- nm - zork Jul 22, 12:29
- Raw onions are a crapshoot, but I can't imagine hating a type of onion. They are the base ingredient for so many delicious things. -- nm - Shaun Jul 22, 12:29 2
  - if they're cooked, I can stomach them some. but I would prefer not to. like in chinese, for instance? - amanda Jul 22, 12:32 1

Oh, I have another produce question. I also bought a purple onion and a walla walla onion. Both have small bulbs (the size of a garlic bulb) with - kelly Jul 22, 11:46 15

        Not weird as that many types would take up a ton of space in your kitchen. -- nm - Spawn Jul 22, 12:33
