Gallium enjoyers: 💀
I have mixed feelings because they are dog poison. Makes me feel like they’re kind of evil.
They’re people poison too. We just out-toleranced them.
Really? I didn’t know!
I feel like that’s a lot of things. Some of us poison ourselves recreationally with alcohol.
If grapes and chocolate are evil I think I’d rather be evil.
S TIER: Shallot, Garlic
A TIER: Leek
F TIER: All of the others
Yellow onions are good
Also red, also spring.
All yums.
OOOOOOHHH ALLIUM NOT “ALLISM”… I was so confused what this had to do with nuerotypical and nuerodivergent people
What’s this “almost”, please?
I would certainly not enjoy garlic in my chocolate cake
Cake has layers. Onion has layers.
∵ Cake is onion.
Always has been
Without going too Wittgenstein on you, I read it a bit differently, and I would enjoy onion jam on my chocolate cake.
But that garlic when it’s onion cake though
I just tied them to my belt, which was the custom at the time.
ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY ALLIUM.
I am very sad I can’t eat these anymore due to IBS
I was this way for years. I eventually recovered a lot and slowly weened back onto them. Good luck and take care.
Thank you for the kind words! I didn’t know I could maybe have these again at some point in the future. Did you just try them every now and again to see how you reacted? Do you still need to watch out?
Just saw this. For me, I found a medication that helped me a lot and I worked on my diet as well. Not just fodmaps but slowly becoming vegan. That helped me regrow my gut biome a lot. I also experimented with fecal transplants, believe it or not. And I went to a pian clinic and they injected a numbing agent into my nerves. This may or may not have been effective. I tried a lot of things. But I think the diet and medication were the most helpful. Then when I was a bit stronger I slowly tried a lit bit more garlic and onion powder and then eventually fresh garlic and onions. I would have a bit of a response but not much. And after a while that response went away.
What medication would that be? I have found enzymes that seem to help with fructans and GOS, do you mean those?
I’ve heard of fecal transplants before, but that it’s simply unknown at this point if it helps with IBS. Hypnosis seems to be helpful for some people as well.
For sure, Celebrex, an NSAID. I had really bad pain and ended up in the hospital and was given Toradol and it helped immediately, and then the doctor gave me a prescription for celebrex afterwards, I took it daily for a while and that was years ago, now I take it as backup if things get bad.
Ye, I suspected that my gut bacteria was a big part of the issue. I found when I did the transplants it always helped. But you have to jump through a lot of hoops to do it safely and effectively. And it may be illegal. And of course, the ick factor is real.
Thanks for sharing your story!
Same for me when i had ibd (still do but in remission). But after bettering my gut microbiome I could eat everything again.
My mother does not like onions.
I am glad I did not inherit that horrific genetic abnormality.
I don’t like onions. It’s literally the one food I do not like. I’ve tried them many times, many ways, and still nope.
Raw and cooked? Maybe try it minced, cooked extremely soft and mixed into a sauce so there are no visible pieces?
I will use it to cook in soups and such, but otherwise, no thank you. I’ve replaced it with leeks and shallots.
My gf does not like the texture of onions.
The taste is fine with her, so I think I’m gonna have to get used to cooking for her with minced onions…
My mom was (and is) a terrible cook in many other ways, but the ‘I’m not making you anything with onions in it’ as a kid kind of sucked.
I’m just glad my grandmother was a good cook.
I feel bad for my brother right now, since his gf cannot have onions and garlic due to a food intolerance. At least spring onions are still tolerable, but still…
Garlic and onions are the basis for so many things that we cook at my house. I can’t imagine not having them in my diet.
You include shallots, but not spring onions? I feel offended.
When someone says they hate onions you know they are the most boring person ever.
I like onions, but the texture can be a big problem for me, depending on the day. Doesn’t matter how it’s prepared: raw, sauteed, cooked, cooked within an inch of its life, does not make a difference
I like the taste of onions, but I hate the structure of them cooked. EDIT: and yeah, I am pretty boring.
Dice or mince them as fine as possible. They will just fade into nothing
Nothing but flavor 😎
Lies. This only results in more disgusting crunching
Crunching???
What are you being served with finely sliced onions that crunch?
Did you know some people are allergic to onions? Very sad.
Not allergic, but the very thought of onions (and garlic) in pregnancy made me feel sick. Smelling them or seeing them cooked (with their translucent little stripes) would have me heaving. All the foods I love have onions and garlic in. It was awful.
That would suck. Sad sad life without the Allum family
I hate onions
Me too. Gives you the farts and they taste like copper. My mum used to put it in everything and i always disliked it. Since cook at home i never use them in and never will.
I love all onions. Except red ones. Fuck 'em.
i hate onions because of their texture in the food. i want food that has the added taste of onions without the onions, or just have them be very small.
Imagine a more boring person than somebody who judges people because of what plants they do or don’t like eating
Or they are a super taster. I love spices, curry, cumin, hot peppers (even Carolina reaper), and have been to twenty five countries but onion is fucking disgusting and I never ever want to eat one.
Dude, just admit you’re boring
Some people have intolerances to onions, and I feel so, so sorry for them. I can’t think of many meals where onions don’t improve the flavour.
Cooked onions are fine, but raw red onions in salads give me terrible headaches, I always feel bad picking them out.
It’s hard. I still eat garlic on occasion, even though it makes me sick. Luckily, I’ve always had a bad reaction with an onion, so my body rejects the flavor too
The first time I got covid it really messed with my smell and taste. Any kind of onions just smelled and tasted completely rotten, even onion powder. Ruined all my favorite foods, even if it was just a small part of the meal. I had just made some pickled red onions and I couldn’t eat them for like 6-8 months. Worst part of covid for me by far.
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
You don’t understand. It needs to be POWDER for me to enjoy something with onions in it
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.
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.
It sucks having an allium intolerance… no one will take my garlic from me though, even if it makes me miserable later
Onions, garlic, other onions, other other onions
