That's interesting. I'm huge on texture and I love onions for theirs. Tomatoes on the other hand...

Dude you just made me want to make French onion soup

Practically every cuisine around the world uses onion.

Out of curiosity, is it any onions?

Like there’s white, yellow, and red onions. On top of that, lightly cooked yellow onions are far different from heavily carmalized ones (crunchy and oniony vs soft and sweet)

I have an alternative hypothesis: At least some people who say they don't like onion are basing that opinion entirely on raw onion and refuse to consider and/or haven't noticed cooked onion.

Go to restaurant, get served a house salad, bite into the purple thing, OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?

Alliums (which includes onions) are not uncommon food allergy so there's something in your theory

I didn't like onions in my childhood. I grew fond of them when approaching adulthood, particularly when I moved out and started properly cooking for myself and buying my own fast food. Now a sandwich without onion doesn't taste right.

So I think it's rather a matter of a particular configuration of tastebuds. Just like I grew out of liking overly sweet foods.

Those are like the 3 things I use the most! God, I feel for you!

You could try pawning your husband off on my ex-wife. She has all of the same "restrictions", but also bell peppers and garlic. Oh and no fish of any sort, except for herring, which she'll eat tons of whenever pregnant (which I think would be most of the time if she could)

I love garlic in all forms but I have to agree - garlic as a seasoning is very different to garlic as a flavour.

My mom's the same way, except she can only taste the onion when being told it's in the dish...even when there is none

Why are we listing more reasons to like onion?
