Probably drinking first and eating secondarily

There’s not enough booze in the world to make me rawdog an onion like this.

Funny. We Iranians almost always eat raw onions alongside food, but everyone in the west seems to hate them unless it's dripping with 6 liters of frying oil

[–] expr@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It really depends. Raw onions are common on hot dogs, burgers, salads, and various other foods.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Wait wait wait wait. You guys put raw onion on hotdogs and burgers? Not fried onions?

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I think if you tried the onions we have available to us, you'd understand.

It's not uncommon for US BBQ to be served with a side of raw sliced white onion.

The older I get the more I desire the raw onion.

[–] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

I eat them raw as a topping/side, but I like pickled onions best.

[–] DNU@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

raw onions are life.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (3 children)

By the west you mean Americans, the rest of us are fine with raw onion.

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

American here, my grandmother would eat an onion would cut an onion with a knife like a. Apple and eat the pieces

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Americans eat it as a topping on salads, burgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches. Not as an entire layer of the sandwich though.

[–] Lvdwsn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Plenty of Americans like raw onion, myself included.

Probably less alcoholics there, no?

[–] vivendi@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

Not with alcohol, just in general

Also you'd be surprised at how many "muslims" drink and fuck and gamble and do any manner of debauchery possible

Raw onion on a deli sandwich is great, but maybe not quite so much...

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Vidalia Onion is good this thick, but usually only in a burger. It’s a very sweet variety, though the sweetness and flavor have declined as it’s become more available I feel. At least where I buy them.

[–] DanWolfstone@leminal.space 5 points 2 days ago

This guy knows his onions

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

You say that now but that sounds exactly like every fucker I've ever heard with a hangover saying "Jaysus, Mary and Joseph and all his carpenter friends I'm never touching a pint again."

As my father used to say "hunger is good sauce".

Four pints in and no dinner I'd gobble that down. GOBBLE IT. Best sandwich I've ever had at that point I'd wager.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

This is the truth.

As my father used to say “hunger is good sauce”.

I went camping with my dad up in Canada in early April. Completely snuggled down in my sleeping bag, hiding from the creeping cold, it was the best sleep I've had in my life. That morning I got up and had starbucks instant coffee (no cream or sugar) heated on a pot over the campfire, and a can of Hormel corned beef hash from the same fire. That was the best coffee and best breakfast ever. I'd freeze for a other night to replicate that feeling. I don't think it comes entirely from misery though, I think it comes from the inability to have anything else. The nearest town was hours away, and so that cheap coffee and canned hash was literally the best food available. There was nothing else to have, so there was nothing else to want.
