Funny. We Iranians almost always eat raw onions alongside food, but everyone in the west seems to hate them unless it's dripping with 6 liters of frying oil

I think if you tried the onions we have available to us, you'd understand.

I eat them raw as a topping/side, but I like pickled onions best.

It really depends. Raw onions are common on hot dogs, burgers, salads, and various other foods.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wait wait wait wait. You guys put raw onion on hotdogs and burgers? Not fried onions?

[–] EvilMe@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Brit here, but we put any style of onion on and in anything, raw onion, fried onion, pickled onion, caramelized onion or onion chutney, take your pick.

raw onions are life.

It's not uncommon for US BBQ to be served with a side of raw sliced white onion.

The older I get the more I desire the raw onion.

By the west you mean Americans, the rest of us are fine with raw onion.

[–] Lvdwsn@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Plenty of Americans like raw onion, myself included.

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Americans eat it as a topping on salads, burgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches. Not as an entire layer of the sandwich though.

American here, my grandmother would eat an onion would cut an onion with a knife like a. Apple and eat the pieces
