Wait is “blooming onion” the name of the dish or is this weird American fake swearing

You cut the top of it in a few directions so that it unfolds in a way vaguely like a flower and deep fry it.

And then you dip the onion petals in comeback sauce and hoo shit is it fucking delicious with a glass of beer

Plus you get to shit liquid afterwards which is fun

Yeah I usually get one at the local harvest festival each year. Can't eat it alone though, it's a lot. This lady's husband is unreal for eating her whole blooming onion in the car.

NGL that looks kinda good in a 3am way

It's absolutely fucking good, and they serve it with a slightly spicy horseradish mayo

It's also literally 20,000 calories for one of them

Aside from steakhouses, they're pretty common festival food, so more like noon but it's chilly out and you're drinking anyways.

NGL I thought it was a faux swear.
