Onions. They're delicious and versatile and make most savoury dish better.

They still make me cry though, and I must have tried probably 20+ different methods to help with it at this point. None work for me.

I lived with someone who refused to eat anything that she knew had onion in (if she didn't know, she was fine, like burger patties), it was very difficult to cook in that household

I was like that until pretty late in my teens. I found cooked onions kinda gross and off-putting. When I think about it now I feel bad for my mom who used to cook for me.

onion is an extremly strong contenter .. like all the forms , its cool with everybody .. you cry when you cut it , its smells proclaims a good meal coming...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I put cut onions under running water immediately and flex them apart so it gets all of the tear gas out.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I accept I'm an onion crybaby and weep.

You can keep them in the fridge too to stop the tear gas.

Amen. Got some lotus leaf buns and I'm low on food, so probably just frying up some onions and stalk mushrooms in oyster sauce and calling it a day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

score the onion horizontally and vertically like a grid without hitting the root, then slice the face to create a good dice and then quickly discard the root without getting the juice on your hand, then quickly clean your knife. that's the solution.

Potato. No veggie can do everything, but a tater can do a whole lot more than most. Would miss onions tho

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I was thinking the same. Potato's are not the best at anything but they are great at many things. So versatile and delicious.

Brassica oleracea cultivars because basically everyone took this same family and bred it to emphasize different parts of the plant

Broccoli, kale, brussel sprouts, etc

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I refuse to believe this. Botanists are just fucking with us.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You're cheating and you know it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Broccol

nah, shit's good if you saute it (or do almost anything else with it, but if you steam it, be careful to keep any excess water because that's now where almost all of your vitamins are)

Feels a little like cheating, but peanuts

Celeriac is p good.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

is it cheating if we consider all the varieties? I'm a big radish fan. I love daikon, wasabi, and snacking on tiny red radishes. Radish greens make a decent pesto too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I like celery- the root or the stalk
