Raw onions. Their taste is overpowering, taking over any other flavors in a dish, just to leave onion-breath at the end. Different kinds of onion don't make a difference, either - I've been suggested red onions and sweet onions, but they all have that "onion-y" sense, so no dice.
Cooked onions rock, but only if they're fully cooked (translucent and soft.) One of the reasons I stopped getting onions in meals at Pei Wei was because they don't seem to understand what "cook the onions thoroughly" means. They think heating them up but keeping them half-raw is enough, but I think doing that ruins the dish.
Then there are burgers and sandwiches, where bits of raw onion get hidden in the middle, only to be discovered after a horrifying crunch with a stinging on my tongue.
I don't really believe people are pretending to like them, though. I've asked around people who like raw onions in their food as to why, and almost universally they say they like "the crunch" it gives. Which leads me to think this is just another sensory difference between us - they don't even mention the taste, whereas the taste is the biggest thing I pick up from it.
The Allium family makes life worth living for me, both cooked and raw. I practically never make a meal that doesn't include some sort or the other allium. Shallots, garlic, spring onions, leeks, chives, in addition to onions, they're all Earth's ultimate culinary gift to humans.
As someone who loves raw onions, especially on things like burgers and hot dogs (I'll snack on a ring when I'm cutting onions), I take offence to this.
Oh I love the taste of raw onion. Especially on a very umami sandwich
For me it's not the difference in taste, it's the awful wet crunch of raw onions lurking hidden in my food. That texture ruins almost anything, although sometimes I can deal with it on a burger.
100% my opinion on onions, my most hated food.
Second is Green Peppers. They're just unripened peppers. I love yellow, orange, or red peppers, but green ones aren't supposed to be eaten, because they taste terrible.
I fucking love grabbing a small handful of chives and munching on them as I walk around the yard/garden
I can't even eat cooked onions. They are extremely overpowering. I think onions and probably other foods are similar to cilantro where it tastes different to some people. There's NO WAY onions taste like that to everybody. I love bitter foods, sour ones, tart stuff, all kinds of things, but onions are an absolute no.
You might be a super taster like me, I hate onions and find them disgustingly overpowering
i use raw onions as a dipping utensil for the raw beef and lamb im about to eat
