Look, onions are like anal sex. If you were forced or tricked into having it as a kid, chances are you don’t want it when you become an adult.

Hope that isn't coming from personal experience, brother/sister/anything you prefer.
I used to hear that in high school when we were seeing who could be the most offensive. I still slip up sometimes and use it as a dark joke, and it's always received as well as it has been here.
Some of us laughed.
I was trying to extend the joke but then looked at everyone’s responses and decided it wouldn’t go over well
I assume this was produced by a 23-year-old who thinks adulthood means something. They'll learn.
I made a conscious decision in my mid-20s to stop being so picky.
Best decision I've ever made. No regrets, at all. There is so much to discover in the world. Why would you limit yourself?
I really feel like some people cling to listing the foods they don't like as some unique part of their personality. Like they picked it at their character selection screen and they're sticking with it.
I'm knocking on the door of 60. There's three things I don't like and one I wouldn't try.
I don't like broad beans (aka fava beans), Brussels sprouts, or peas. One of the best things about being an adult is being able to say 'No, thanks'. I try them again every few years, just to check. With peas and sprouts I still hate the taste horribly. Broad beans can taste alright but have to be properly prepared and cooked and it's just easier to say no because when they're not right they're the thing I dislike the most.
The one thing I wouldn't try would be balut. The idea just makes my skin crawl for some reason.
Yeah, I used to have the mindset that either I loved or hated foods and would only want the ones I loved. But eventually, I realized that there's a middle category of foods that I don't go crazy for but aren't bad, plus two reasons to revisit the ones that I still didn't like: good cooking can make almost any food delicious, and tastes change as you age (and/or nutrition needs vary).
I have trouble respecting picky eaters after that. As long as your body isn't trying to reject the food entirely (and I do understand that some people's bodies will reject things that mine is fine with), it's just sensations that you can get past. It's a mental block that if you can get past it, you'll eventually look back and wonder what was so hard about it.
Though my mindset plays a role. I like novelty more than familiarity (though ironically I don't think we test our new things enough to really determine their safety... I like the new stuff but also side-eye it).
Hey you can defend onions and peppers without slandering corn.
I avoided onions and peppers when I was younger because I was a picky ass eater.
Now I avoid onions because I realized I can’t properly digest them and the make my tummy sad.
I was a picky ass eater.
That's something we should all be picky about.
There is no life without The Trinity! (onion, garlic, peppers)
But there are people that just can't eat some foods without digestive repercussions. And food tolerances can even change as we age. I used to love eating peanuts and other tree nuts. But as I have aged, my digestive tract can no longer tolerate eating them except in small amounts. But I now pile on the herbs and spices when I cook. I want strong bold flavors in my food as I have aged.
Life, it seems is weird and changing.
Every time I eat onions, it takes about 5 minutes until it feels like someone is repeatedly stabbing me in the guts with a rusty knife. So yeah I avoid them
Onions and peppers are some of the vegetables I eat the most of because you can cut them up very quickly and serve with simple lunches like pasta or an omelette
Don't you dare put onions in my eggs; I'll cut you.
Uncooked onions can be pretty overpowering to me, burying the taste of everything else. Grilled onions, on the other hand, overpower everyone near me after they've been digested and farted out.
Onions make me ill in quantity so, uh, yeah.
Onions are gross. Shallots however, are divine
A lot of people who are super tasters find alliums like onions and garlic incredibly overpowering unless they are in really small amounts.
I was thinking to myself that it can't be that many people, but sure enough I was wrong and was surprised to learn the following from the Wikipedia article about super-tasters:
"Research suggests 25% of the population are non-tasters, 50% are medium tasters, and 25% are supertasters."
Quite interesting and concise page, recommended. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster
Onions and peppers? At that point you’re basically ordering ‘food, but with the flavor DLC removed.
Chopped up over a kg of onions and fried them, also added grated parsnip and carrots, then salt, pepper and a few bottles of malt vinegar. Little bit of honey too. Simmer away for a few hours, add more vinegar if it's getting a little dry. Then store in jars.
This was 2 days ago and my kitchen still smells divine. I don't really know how to accurately describe it. Caramelised onions but there is more to it from the vinegar. Doesn't smell like vinegar though, more like it's enhanced the onions.
Cheap to make as supermarkets here are competing over selling the cheapest veg. 5kg of parsnips, carrots, cabbage and swede for under £0.50, onion was a bit more, but not much. Was going to add all of it but my arm was getting tired from grating and peeling so much. I don't own a food processor so it's all by hand. Filled 2.5L worth of jars from the first batch.
I'm a big fan of fajitas.
I like onions and peppers. They do not like me (understandable ) and exact their fiery indigestive revenge every time I dare eat more of their ranks
Off topic: who is that actress?
Same, asking for a friend!
Did a reverse image search - appears to be Leighton Meester, in a role as "Blair Waldorf" from Gossip Girls.
I'm allergic to onion and I'm offended by this.
But man do I chow down on peppers a lot.
my husband hates onions. not the flavor, but the texture.
This also made me find out I have autism🥲
