Does anyone else on here absolutely hate them? Theyre such a pointless thing to put in food for me anyway. Anytime I cook Spaghetti Bolagnaise, people never notice when I leave them out. Has anyone else complained that a dish actually needed MORE onions???

Theyre a slimy textured flavourless vegtable that makes you cry... hardly worth it is it? Does anyone else on here agree, or find any other foods as annoying as this?

I like them when used as flavouring, but I could not actually bite into one, it would make me feel ill!

I'm a bit of a funny onion on this one.

I love raw onion when it's in a salad or used in a sandwich but I cannot tolerate it in cooked food. I can usually stand some cooked onion used sparingly when it's been diced but I hate it when you get a meal and it's full of big bits of onion. Puts me right off.

Cooked onions with a meat dish no problem, add cooked cheese to the mix and the resultant product is repulsive.

I like onions. Even pickled.

They're the WORST KIND of onions, after Scottish onions. Anyway I am going to go against the flow and state my appreciation of large chunks of onion in skewer form and mixed with various chunks of chicken and red pepper and whatnot.

Red onions are amazing, but white onions can only be used as an additive to meat based dishes.

having said that, I do like white onion on a pizza, even a pizza, without meat.

Love the things. Except on someone else's breath.
