31 Jul 05 - 12:49 PM (#1532109) Subject: BS: Onion hater rwarded From: Mr Red Picture Mr Red in his local supermarket, in a hurry. Cheap Co-op suasage shelf, grabs packet and rushes home. Opens packet and smells ONIONS. ARGHHHHHH!!!!! OK another oniondetest had put the crud brand back in the wrong place upside down. Easy mistake. Ayway - it says on the packet, carefully hidden in the folds of the packaging techniques, "If this product does not hit the spot........." Sooooooooooo I didn't waste a minute and wrote to them. Good as gold - they replied (without prejudice) and included a 5 GBP postal order. Worth the effort just to let 'em know there are people who are differently tasted. one down - 1001 to go............ |

31 Jul 05 - 01:24 PM (#1532124) Subject: RE: BS: Onion hater rwarded From: Bill D yes, yes, yes!... I got a sandwich at a shop one day.."No onions, please.."...and got in my car and headed down the road, unwrapping sandwich to find....onions! Even though I was late, drove back to shop and plonked bag on counter saying, "I asked for NO onions". The girl in the corner who had made it looked up with this WELL! expressions and said, "I like onions!" .....I think it's almost a hopeless cause. I did get one guy trained at a shop where I was a semi-regular for a few months. After watching him do this automatic dip into the onion bin several times and making him start over, he finally looked up at me and said..."Oh, hi...let's see, you want a slice of red onion between 2 slices of white onion-right?" I never had any more trouble...there. I know one woman whose idea of making soup was to cut up a bunch of onion...then see if she had anything to go with it! (I can put up with small amounts of onion as deepbackground flavoring in some dishes, as long as I can't actually identify any pieces) |

One of them replied "No - use the wand to make yourself like onions!" It was an interesting thought, but I think I would still like to get rid of the onions. Onions, scallions, chives, leeks - away with them all! (of course, there are other opinions.) Don |

01 Aug 05 - 09:51 AM (#1532594) Subject: RE: BS: Onion hater rwarded From: Mr Red Well all you oninion immersed - have you ever tasted meat? You reckon? Nah - you textured it, and tasted onion. How boring. My Canadian cousin reckoned chicken was bland as cardboard without garnish etc. So she cooked a Canadian Chicken and guess what? All the chicken flavour was bred, fed & chemicalled out just so it didn't spoil the onions! You don't know what your missing? I do - the taste of meat, the goodness, the quality. Onions and spices were invented to hide off flavours - rancid meat anyone? BTW I don't salt or pepper - the quack reckoned I got enough sodium from a balanced diet. I don't have heart trouble neither. |

01 Aug 05 - 10:11 AM (#1532609) Subject: RE: BS: Onion hater rwarded From: MMario Besides - why adulterate the onion with meat? A good onion sandwich is quite satisying. A baked onion, tasty, Roast garlic spread on a bit of pita, yummmmm! |

01 Aug 05 - 10:16 AM (#1532614) Subject: RE: BS: Onion hater rwarded From: LilyFestre I once visited a restaurant and asked the waitress if the chicken salad had onions in it. She told me no and had never heard of anyone putting onions in chicken salad. I said ok and ordered the chicken salad. It was LOADED with onions....red onions. The chunks were the size of a nickel and anyone who ever looked at the chicken salad would have had to been blind to miss it. She put up quite the fuss when I sent it back. Go figure! Michelle |

01 Aug 05 - 07:41 PM (#1532991) Subject: RE: BS: Onion hater rwarded From: Bee-dubya-ell I pity you onion haters. The easiest way, bar none, to impress your SO with your cooking skills is to simply have a panful of garlic and onions simmering on the stove when he or she gets home from work. It doesn't matter if you don't have the foggiest idea what you're really going to cook, the onions and garlic just make it smell like you've been working your ass off. Play your cards right and you can actually convince SO to take over the cooking for the evening since you've already made such an auspicious beginning. |
