Tell that to my gut. You get onions in there, mushrooms, etc I'll be absolutely crippled with cramps, gas, and worse.

I'm glad people love onions. I don't even mind the taste. But you know what I like more? NOT being stuck in agony on the toilet for hours.

Have you tried growing the hell up?

IBS? SIBO? Any other diagnose?

SIBO, been battling it for awhile

Wait but does the paper towel thing work?

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Can't say with certainty, though I have heard it recommended to me by someone who should know.

However, my preferred trick is to place the cutting board near an extraction fan, set said fan to high, and trying not to bend too much over the cutting board while chopping my onions.

[–] m3t00@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

never tried it

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Very unlikely.

If you don’t like durian, you should try growing up in a South East Asian family.

I didn't like onions as a kid, turns out my mother just sucks at cooking.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

I thought my parents' cooking was great, until I grew up and started cooking myself, and discovered I had a talent for it. Now I realize my parents couldn't cook at all.

Now life is reversed, and I'm taking care of my Mom (Dad's gone), and I do ALL the cooking.

I still despise onions though. That wasn't my Mom's cooking, I just despise onions. And green peppers.

It isn't about growing up, onions just taste terrible to some people, the way cilantro or asparagus tastes bad to some. I know a guy who is fine with onions, but feels the way I feel toward them about CUCUMBERS, of all things. They basically taste like water, but he can't stand to be in the same room with one.

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (7 children)

I know the cilantro example is famous, but as a super taster and having other people with the gene onions are very divisive. For me, anything more than a hint is overpoweringly disgusting and the idea of actually biting into one directly fills me with dread.

Onion powder and garlic powder are both very preferable to the actual substance taste wise.

If you know someone in your life that really likes diet soda and other artificially sweetened things and even prefers it to the regular, they just might be a super taster.

If you know someone that finds wine, beer, tea and coffee horrifically bitter to the point that they can't even understand how you enjoy it. They may also be a super taster.

If you know someone that complains Seltzer's like white claw and lacroix are absurdly bitter and completely disgusting. That is likely because they can taste a profile called bitter two, which is prevalent in these things because they are a super taster.

I know nobody will read this and learn to quit bitching at people about what they like, but I figured I'd at least try.

Now that I'm done being reasonable:

Why don't you stop pussyfooting around with weak bitch shit like onions and actually use some real fucking spices from India and Mexico? Onions are for mayo loving losers afraid of burning their tender tongues, miss me with that shit.

[–] 5318008@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

shit like onions and actually use some real fucking spices from India and Mexico

... but... India eats a lot of onions... because as great as the spices are, onions are also great. You can have both. You should have both.

[–] AlfredoJohn@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I tried some pickled onions from an Idian place near me and while I generally hate onions in all forms (except onion powder or onion flavored chips for some reason) I didnt realize how different they could taste when made in proper ways. I was literally eating them on their own by the spoonful because they were so good, never in my life did I expect that to ever happen. So while its prevelant in Indian dishes, it just feels like they know how to actually use them versus some plain disgusting raw onion chopped and added to like a salad or burger. Like anything there is always nuance, and that day I learned it ever applied to the eating onions lol

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

What if I love plain sparkling water, black (loose) tea, dark chocolate, unsweetened espresso? Enjoy the taste of plain (real, not American) bread with olive oil or butter on its own? Hate food spicier than butter chicken?

Am I a super taster or the opposite?

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Opposite of me in almost every way lol def not a super taster

If you judge what other people eat

You should try: Growing the hell up

[–] mabeledo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I judge people for what they eat every time I put a foot in a Target.

Let’s normalize shaming adults who eat like five year olds.

If you don't like onions you should try cooking them in butter on low heat for 30-45 minutes until they're a deep amber and mixing them with sour cream, a bit of mayo, salt and pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Boom, caramelized onion dip.

I always liked onions in things. In fact I liked all things kids were supposed to hate... Except for eggplant. I just don't like eggplant.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (3 children)

There has always been a lot of poorly cooked eggplant going around. It has a ton moisture that needs to be drawn out through salt and/or roasting and frying to make it not be mushy.

Cooked properly crispy it can be delicious.

Onions have their place, and it's diced so fine they're practically molecular.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Raw, carmelized, fried, pickled, grilled.

There’s so many ways to eat onions and they all taste different. Someone who just ‘doesn’t like onions’ is like someone not liking potatoes…which version and what do you not like??
