When you're cooking and it does its thing.

Sometimes it's garlic, but yeah, mostly onion.

Unpopular -slash-borderline-psychopatic opinion: there should be onion grilled in butter scented candles on the market.

I would buy it in a heartbeat. I've seen garlic bread candles on Etsy after all!

Garlic, butter, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, onions, shallots, and basil.

Any of these in almost any dish make whatever you're cooking smell amazing.

This, or just the smell of my cast iron pan heating up.

Yesterday's onions

Last year's onions .... along with every other onion since then

Literally that.

Growing up, I always loved going to Grandma's house because it always smelled so good because she was always cooking something. Later in life, I realized it was just a faint onion smell because she put them in everything.

Onions are just the most superior vegetable, change my mind.

They are the worst substance to ever be designated food.

That's sugar. No. Really. Sugar straight up caused the slave trade to explode in the 1500s and 1600s. Later, Hitler turned it into Zycklon - B.

Interesting perspective, and a valid candidate for worst food, for a lot more reasons than the slave trade (although that's a good one).

I remember reading an article about two dentists who studied old European paintings, and they could pinpoint the year that sugar hit the European continent, because suddenly the dental problems in painting subjects dramatically increased. It was clear that the introduction of sugar devastated the mouths of Europeans.

And of course there is sugar's massive contribution to obesity, which is my personal dragon to slay.

You should try replacing it with onions

That's racist.

Counter point. Onions are vile and make eating out a constant annoyance for me because they're in everything.

If they were rare, they would be unbelievably expensive. We're so lucky they are cheap.

Who cooks just an onion?

ArfArfWoof @feddit.org - 21hr

In a lot of recipes I start with just an onion (or onion with diced garlic), then add stuff later.

BarrelAgedBoredom @lemmy.zip - 17hr

Most of the time I'm sauteing an onion before I even know what I'm gonna make

Someone about to eat an onion, probably.

I know right?! Like, eat it raw baby. So sweet, so spicy, so goooooood.

I have an old Irish Canadian friend who said that their mother ate a raw onion every night before she went to bed. At it like an apple as a late night snack. The old woman went on to live to a hundred years of age with a completely sharp and aware mind.

Siethron @lemmy.world - 21hr

I personally don't like onions, so it usually olive oil + garlic.

Or bacon, sometimes it's just bacon

I don’t like raw onions. But if you sauté or grill those tear-jerkers, they’re amazing.

2
kryptonianCodeMonkey @lemmy.world - 16hr

Hard pass.

or frying your onion in bacon fat

I hate onions, and you'll never catch me in this scenario.

Garlic, on the other hand...

I hate onion. I dont cook it. Can't stand the smell of it. Best case scenario, I use onion powder in something. I still get these comments, so... no.

2
Echolynx @lemmy.zip - 17hr

I dunno, I'm one of the weirdos who hates the smell (and taste) of fried onion. Makes my eyes water and hurt.
