Random Topics - Onions
Onion is a term used for many plants in the genus Allium. They are known by the common name "onion" but, used without qualifiers, it usually refers to Allium cepa. Allium cepa is also known as the "garden onion" or "bulb" onion. It is grown underground by the plant as a vertical shoot that is used for food storage, leading to the possibility of confusion with a tuber, which it is not.

I love onions- pizza, hamburgers, spaghetti, cereal (well okay maybe not cereal). Onions will never bone. Not the food, and not the wonderful satiric newspaper. -- Submitted By: (Asham1046) on May 8, 2013, 7:18 pm - (0 votes)

I always thought it interesting that the water pressure in the individual cells of an onion is greater than what would explode a steam engine. Still, as far as I know, no one has attempted to build a steam engine out of onions. LOL
Foodwise, I can eat them raw or cooked but find that I have to go to foreign countries not to get dissed for said breath after raw consumption. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on January 25, 2012, 4:32 pm - (0 votes)

Round onion gooood. Green onion baaaad. Onion rings fine, unless eaten on small boat in rough waters, which make you barf. Trust me on this. -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on April 15, 2011, 2:25 am - (0 votes)

Onions, really? Is there anyway that they can change that can cause them to be but shadows of their former selves hence they jump the shark, bone the fish or nuke the fridge and thus never be liked as much again? This is a ridiculous topic, never boned will be those who like onions, day 1 will be ones allergic to onions or who do not like them and the crying thing is nitpicking. Onions never boned to me, the taste great. -- Submitted By: (johnnydough) on July 22, 2010, 1:11 am - (0 votes)

Earlier today I was using the computer when someone was making onion rings! Sure, I love them, but although I was sitting far from the kitchen, my first thought was, "was my conscience hurting?" The stench from onions that make you cry was so strong, it traveled to where I was sitting! I thought I was gonna go blind! I did everything from run outside for fresh air to wetting my eyes in the bathroom sink! This was my first such experience. All in all, onions boned the fish because of that awful feeling! -- Submitted By: (SVN) on October 19, 2009, 9:31 pm - (0 votes)
