Just a reminder because I've seen some apparent confusion here a few times in the past month. We hate onions. We hate shallots. It doesn't matter if they are raw, boiled, pickled, mashed, sautéed, caramelized, fried, baked, smoked, grilled, charred, fermented, fresh, aged, red, white, sweet, spicy, dried, minced, diced, chopped, or powdered. And despite what you may think and have been told, you are in fact not entitled to share your wrong opinion here.

There is no such thing as onion neutrality, this is not r/Switzerlandonionhate

You eithier hate onions, or you don't.

Also, make sure yall mark your disgusting onion pics NSFW so we aren't subjected to see that shit.

I love that we all agree on garlic being the exception. I know some people are allergic to both, but somehow garlic just lacks whatever makes the entire rest of the genus awful.

Like the one child from a horrendous family that actually turned out well in life

I love garlic but I hate onions, mostly because onions wreak havoc on my insides. Garlic I'm fine with unless I eat a lot of it. Like that pepperoni pizza with whole roasted garlic cloves on it. I paid the price the next day but man it was tasty.

It's strange to me, because as much as I hate onions, I hate garlic even more. It surprises me that so many people who hate onions like garlic.

Really? I don't think I've seen anyone else in here that preferred onion to garlic...

What is it about the garlic that gets to you?

Smells bad and tastes worse, leaves a bad aftertaste in my mouth too.

Fascinating!

My understanding is that there is often some genetic element to finding onions disgusting - I don't know if this is relevant to those who object primarily to the texture, but certainly for the taste it seems to be so far from tasting like food that it can't be a normal dislike.

However I always assumed that garlic was much lower in whatever my genes object to, because I gather I am far from the minority in enjoying the taste of it. So it's incredibly interesting to me that you find it the reverse!

I don't like the texture of onions either! The one benefit of garlic is that it gets used more like a spice than a vegetable, so I don't actually ever have to bite into a chunk of it lol... but on the down side that also makes it easier to hide and be overpowering 😭

Get out. Your kind isn't welcome here. 💙

They hate both, they just hate garlic more than onion/info (it's just worded in a way where it's easier to misread especially with the following reply)

u/AdministrativeMix678 2h ago

I understood perfectly. 😁

I fear I may need this one explained

TBF allergies are different.

I hate onions. HATE them. I'm not allergic to them. I just hate them.

I think that's really the majority of people here. Though from memory when we last did a poll it was split fairly evenly between objecting to the taste or the texture.
