Ok, this will sound like a very strange question but I was wondering how many people like onions? I LOVE onions but my husband thinks they are disgusting! He says he doesn't understand why people like them. And I think most people like them so thought I would ask!! And his brother doesn't like them either. So they think I am weird!
What do you think?

I love em. Not on their own though, too hot
My wife can't stand them though. If there is even the tinyest bit in a meal she picks them out.

If you're talking about cooking onions, I like cooked but not raw.

I do like raw green onions, red onions and vadallias.

LOVE them. I can't imagine cooking without them. I don't like too many raw onions in anything, but otherwise they're wonderful. French onion soup...mmmm.

I like the flavor they impart when cooked, but I cannot eat them raw. They cause bad things to happen in my digestive tract.

I can't even put them in anything because he says if you put onions in anything that is all he can taste. I will eat them all the time and he won't even come near me!
I always ask, why can't you just like onions?!!!

Add me to the list because the more onions the better for me. Mind having said that, Gil had a roast beef sandwich with onions on and he stank


A cheese and onion sandwich, lovely!!

Ewww...hold the onions for me please.

I guess I'm the weirdo of the group too. I can't stand cutting them (the smell lingers in my fingers for days is the equivilent of barf for me) and I hate havin bad breathe.

I'm breathe paranoid though and onions are the only thing I eat that lingers on me. Can't stand it.

I like onions both cooked and raw, everyone in my family does, so does my bf!!!

Although I am the odd one out with raw tomato
I hate it, yuk.

Although baring in mind it is the cat site, I doubt that many of our kitties enjoy onions!!! Hehehe, or maybe there are some that do, do they count?

I like them ok but not in everything, all the time. And the size of the pieces has to be just right in certain things, lol.

No raw ones.

I love onions. My favorite is to pan fry hamburgers, so that the beef juices stay in the pan. When the burgers are about half done, put in some diced onion and let them saute in the juices. When the burgers are done, pile on the saute'd onions and cover with cheese. The cheese will hold 'em in place


Pretty awesome

I like them fried as Onion Rings- or as flavoring when I'm cooking, but I don't like them raw, or on burgers, or pizza.
