I don’t mind the flavor, but the texture mixes well with absolutely nothing.

At a small enough size they don’t have a texture just kind of float into the background. Got to dice those babies

They’re the worst when diced, especially in something like stir fry. Your chewing your rice/veggie similar consistency mix then all the sudden you get either a crunchy flake (for uncooked onions) or a tiny piece of wet paper (for cooked).

I realize this rant is childish, but my sensory issues make this a big deal for me and I need to put my foot down… even if it causes my heel to light up.

You don’t understand. It needs to be POWDER for me to enjoy something with onions in it

Fine dice and a little caramelization removes all noticeable texture in anything chewable. Improves the flavor too.

For garlic, you either roast or mince, both of which soften the texture way down

Cooked onions, I suppose I’d agree. They’re just kinda mushy. Raw onions on the other hand have a great crunchy texture to me.

Thick sliced raw onion rings on burgers fluffs the whole thing up a bit and adds some airy crunch.

They add a nice crunchy texture to Greek salad as well.

Cut into lengthwise strips, they’re similarly fun in stir-fry if you don’t cook them too long.

Diced on top of a tostada or taco or bagel with cream cheese and lox, they add a little crunchy something but admittedly this could be also be achieved with pretty much anything not-squishy.

This is awesome. lol. I never once thought of adding air to my burgers. If I want crunch I’d add some bacon or even curly fries

Haha yeah, bacon always wins. Potato chips on a sandwich are nice for that same kinda fluffy crunch layer.
