    My mother does not like onions.

    I am glad I did not inherit that horrific genetic abnormality.

      My gf does not like the texture of onions.

      The taste is fine with her, so I think I’m gonna have to get used to cooking for her with minced onions…

        My mom was (and is) a terrible cook in many other ways, but the ‘I’m not making you anything with onions in it’ as a kid kind of sucked.

        I’m just glad my grandmother was a good cook.

          I feel bad for my brother right now, since his gf cannot have onions and garlic due to a food intolerance. At least spring onions are still tolerable, but still…

            Garlic and onions are the basis for so many things that we cook at my house. I can’t imagine not having them in my diet.

      I don’t like onions. It’s literally the one food I do not like. I’ve tried them many times, many ways, and still nope.

        Raw and cooked? Maybe try it minced, cooked extremely soft and mixed into a sauce so there are no visible pieces?

          I will use it to cook in soups and such, but otherwise, no thank you. I’ve replaced it with leeks and shallots.
