Oh love onions now, I used to have problem with them when younger, think it was mainly the soft squiggy ones I didn't like the texture of and put me off. But i've grown to like them. Love them raw too, but I'm a bit wierd like that as I like lemons too. There's quite a number of things I like raw, most of which I don't think is that wierd but other tend to look at me funny. Mushrooms, Cauliflower (infact I don't like it at all when cooked), peas, carrots, in fact mostly vegatable type stuff.

I love onions. Spring, red, Spanish - all sorts. Cooked or raw.
Love a Chinese chicken curry too - and it is mainly onion, then chicken in a curry sauce. Yum. An occasional treat.
EDIT - Oh yes, cauliflower too. Have you tried Iceland's cauliflower cheese frozen? Each of the florets are coated in the sauce and frozen separately so you can put a small amount in a casserole and bosh it in the oven.
Scrumptious.

I do like the curry sauce, but not on chips. Just rice. And fried rice at that. In for a penny...Hymagumba wrote:I have to pick the onion out a chinese curry. I've decided that in fact just buying the tub of the sauce and slopping it over the remaining rice / chips is better value for money.
I reckon some of you have experienced cheap onions, and that's why you've been scunnered on them. Recently I bought a bag of "cooking onions", and they were pretty vile. Really sharp taste, really nasty texture to the flesh. Almost grainy. Gross. Don't know what I was thinking about when I bought them. I only really wanted them to make some cheese n' onion toasties.
Try a smaller onion (if you're cooking yourself), or ease yourself in with a milder shallot. Slightly sweet, too.
Mmm.
