Uncooked onions can be pretty overpowering to me, burying the taste of everything else. Grilled onions, on the other hand, overpower everyone near me after they’ve been digested and farted out.
Onions are gross. Shallots however, are divine
I made a conscious decision in my mid-20s to stop being so picky.
Best decision I’ve ever made. No regrets, at all. There is so much to discover in the world. Why would you limit yourself?
I really feel like some people cling to listing the foods they don’t like as some unique part of their personality. Like they picked it at their character selection screen and they’re sticking with it.
I’m knocking on the door of 60. There’s three things I don’t like and one I wouldn’t try.
I don’t like broad beans (aka fava beans), Brussels sprouts, or peas. One of the best things about being an adult is being able to say ‘No, thanks’. I try them again every few years, just to check. With peas and sprouts I still hate the taste horribly. Broad beans can taste alright but have to be properly prepared and cooked and it’s just easier to say no because when they’re not right they’re the thing I dislike the most.
The one thing I wouldn’t try would be balut. The idea just makes my skin crawl for some reason.
I had balut in the Philippines when I visited around 2008.
Not my favorite thing to eat, but I could see how some people like it.
If you ever get to the Philippines give it a try! Ask for the “young” balut so it’s more like an egg and less like a baby duck.
And yeah, almost all beans have to be prepared right to be good. If it’s just mush then it’s overcooked.

No thanks!
my husband hates onions. not the flavor, but the texture.
This also made me find out I have autism🥲
Wait, why not all three?
You can reasonably use all three in an omellette or rice based dish or soups or many other possible kinds of meals.
… And … there are many kinds of onions, peppers and corn, and many ways of preparing them for inclusion in some kind of food.
You can also mix diced onions with corn kernels, and spray some lemon an black pepper on top and it would be good to eat.
Although I find raw onion to be too strong to eat in such proportions, a few fistfuls should be fine.Yeah, that’s a great example!
You can make a bit of a salad outta that with some kind of leafy green, as a main portion of all that, maybe some croutons or broken up tortilla chips, i dunno.
Like hell, uh… proper sauerkraut. Korean pickled onions, radishes, cabbage.
People will just eat that shit as a whole meal, I’ve seen it, even dated someone who did at one point.
And its usually at least as, if not more pungent than raw onions, unless you just chopped those onions.
Personally, that’s a bit wild for my tastes, but… I’m not German or Korean.
Get the peppers out of here. Cooked bell peppers are a crime.
I have to agree. Mostly because there are SO many good peppers, but 90% of the time you see a pepper its that trash. Theyre not gross, but they just bring down the dishes theyre in, when other peppers could uplift the dish.
You’ve never eaten Hungarian goulash.
Bitch I’m Magyar.
Well don’t tell your grandma about your taste then lol.
I’m joshing, but honestly, I love Hungarian beef goulash with bell peppers!
There is no life without The Trinity! (onion, garlic, peppers)
But there are people that just can’t eat some foods without digestive repercussions. And food tolerances can even change as we age. I used to love eating peanuts and other tree nuts. But as I have aged, my digestive tract can no longer tolerate eating them except in small amounts. But I now pile on the herbs and spices when I cook. I want strong bold flavors in my food as I have aged.
Life, it seems is weird and changing.
Onions and peppers? At that point you’re basically ordering ‘food, but with the flavor DLC removed.
who are these people? can we get them isolated from our community?
YES PLEASE
You had my upvote till I saw you throwing shade at corn. I will Cobb your ass for talking shit on corn.
It’s the influence of CornHub on our youth.
Corn is not like that in real life!
The worst thing we could possibly do, is let others eat what they want to eat.
Literally me
Off topic: who is that actress?
Same, asking for a friend!
Did a reverse image search - appears to be Leighton Meester, in a role as “Blair Waldorf” from Gossip Girls.
Correct. My wife loves that show lol
The meme photo is the most “my type” photo I could find, unfortunately, so I fear I don’t have a new “ship” :/
Every time I eat onions, it takes about 5 minutes until it feels like someone is repeatedly stabbing me in the guts with a rusty knife. So yeah I avoid them
I know someone who was allergic to onion and garlic. Their food choices made me sad, but yeah, go get checked for food allergies if you can. That not being weird enough, lymphatic cancer cured them of the allergy.
Might be an allergy. I used to have something like this with some foods some years ago. What’s interesting is that now I don’t seem to have it any more with the same foods; it might be true what they say about allergies - that they come and go. Not a medical professional - just speaking from my experience.
Nobody says the come and go. They can come on later in life but once there you are basically stuck with it. Reason being is that allergies are an immune reaction. These are mediated by immune cells, antibodies, that bind to the $insert_bad_thing and put a “murder me” sign on its back. These cell are produced by long lived immune cells.
Same for me with corn!
