To be fair, it’s really hard to tell what you were saying. It took a few re-reads to parse your comment into something that makes sense.
its simple the onion is shit now and they are owned by totally different people now so basing something of the onion does not mean the same thing anymore.
I feel like onions in general have lost a lot of flavor. I think it has to do with farming conditions and big agriculture businesses trying to eek out more profit. I should probably just start growing my own.
