Chefs and onions

[Dana]

If I had a restaurant, bar, pub or cafe I would be the only chef to not use onion in my cooking. My principal over yours. I hate the taste and the feeling of eating onion :yuk

 

[Codrus]

yea...well,....your a wingnut

 

[HottyToddyChick]

If I had a restaurant, I wouldn't be able to do onions! Funnily enough, I was thinking about that a couple hours ago.

If I eat them raw, I get migraines. Easy enough to not eat them. If I cut them, I cry for about half an hour. I kid you not- I react worse than anyone I know, and it's only been recently and it's steadily getting worse. I bought a little chopper thing, so I could keep it all contained. I still cry. And I LOVE onions.

 

[Guyzerr]

You would not get my business then.

I'd have to say that you wouldnt succeed

even though I hate onions, its needed for flavor is certain ingredients, Gordon Ramsey would cut your head off for being so close minded

I can't eat them raw, but if you carmelize them first you can't feel the texture at all...and the taste is yummy!!!

I love onions. Raw or cooked. I'd put them in just about everything if Donnie liked them.

Freeze them first. I cry for awhile too but if I freeze them first, it really cuts down on the crying. Especially if you can cut it before it thaws. And I haven't noticed a major difference in taste or texture either.

chop them in a bowl of water

Who the hell is going to know I don't use onions in my food? You don't post the ingredient to a recipe on the menu. And courses usually just list the major item in the course.i'll boost the other flavors so u don't notice they aren't there. I cook for my parents all the time and they know I loathe onions and they still love my cooking.

Not every cuisine in the world has onion in it.

So if you owned a restaurant this is kinda how it would go?


ME : I'd like to order a double cheeseburger with raw onions on it and a side of onion rings please.

YOU: Sorry sir but I hate onions so we don't sell 'em.

ME : Bye..........
...............................................................................................

ME : I'll have the baked spaghetti with lotz of mozza on it and a triple order of garlic toast please. Please butter it to the sides.

You : Great choice sir. It's one of our specialities.

** tap..... tap...tap... ***

You : Here's your order sir.... enjoy.

ME : Chomp... chomp....

ME : Excuse me sir do you have a minute? This spaghetti is really bland. It seems to be missing something. I've taken a hard look at the sauce and it seems like there are no onions in it.

YOU: You're righ sir. I hate onions so we don't use 'em here.

ME : You're fucking kidding me right?

YOU : No sir... I am not. I really hate onions so nobody in my opinion should be able to enjoy them in my restaurant.

ME : Well I'm not going to pay for it nor will I eat it. BYE !

YOU : Well I'm calling the cops.

ME : Fuck the cops... fuck you and the horse you rode in on. BYE !
