Onions. I wish to God I liked onions. Food is so hard for me sometimes because I can't stand them in almost every form. I travel a lot, and the hardest places not to offend anyone food-wise has been southeast Asia. So. Many. ONIONS.
I don't know what it is but onions just overpower everything for me. I love the flavor onions give to other foods so I use onion powder when cooking, but anything that has actual onions, it's all I can taste.
maybe your taste buds are just different to most people and much more sensitive to onion flavor
Could be. I know I would love to not have to ask for no onions or pick them off everything.
And yet it is in India you'll find Jain food that is free of Onion/Garlic/Ginger.
@OceanSoap @MisterHavoc so unfortunate as I feel like onions are one of the few nearly-universal components of food culture.
Wheat you can get away from in Asian countries where rice or other grains predominate
Same with dairy and most vegetables. Even meat isn't as ubiquitous, and you can always choose your species (chicken v pork v beef v fish etc).
Now you got me wondering where onions originated.... 🤔
