What do you get when you cross a donkey with an onion?
A piece of ass that brings tears to your eyes

Glass onion

 

[MJsGhost]

I think it has many names, i've also heard it called the chin strap or the stinky bridge.

Or the 'taint'... and for him the 'barse'

Red onion makes EVERYTHING in a sandwich taste better. The only thing is, I can still taste it HOURS later, which isn't overly pleasant either for me or probably anyone I may be orally interacting with.

and everyone ELSE gets the benefit the following day.

Red onion is amazing

Shallots. A bit of a pain to peel, but slightly sweeter and milder than normal onions. Great roasted

This thread led me to looking at the Wiki Alliums page. I thought I knew my onions until I saw this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Allium_species

While all onions are alliums, are all alliums onions?

While all onions are alliums, are all alliums onions?

No, but I think on that wiki page it said that alliums are colloquially referred to as the onion genus.

All onions have a place, I couldn't possibly pick a favourite.

It's like choosing between your children

Dowse it in lemon juice first - it takes away the num-num-plerrr taste thing a bit. They kind of neutralise each other.

But red onion is my favourite - it's perfect for making chutney to go on barbecued burgers.

I love onions in most forms uncooked fried, roasted onion rings whatever but I do think that generally Red Onions are too mild and not strong enough so do not have them very often. Also love onion bechamel sauce on lamb

 

[Acker79]

I like spring onion in a chow mein
I like fried to the point of burning white onions in burgers or with sausage and mash
I like raw red onions in salads.

How many are there? I have no idea.

There'shallot.
