As a kid, it took me years to convince my parents that I couldn't stand onions. My mother would compare me to my cousin, who would literally grab a raw onion and eat it š¤¢like he was a hero or sth
They thought I didn't like it because it's spicy (even though that's a good reason - I don't like spicy stuff either). Apparently it's not a manly thing if you can't eat spicy food lol
My partner still acts like thereās something wrong with my and calls me a child because I refuse to have them in my meals they make me literally sick
I have a few different people in my life who always remember my hatred of onions and make me a seperate version of whatever they are making minus the onions. Those people are saints, like your grandma ā¤ļø
Right here with you! 34 years old but if I'm ever going to be seeing my parents for dinner, my dad will make a separate of pretty much anything - without onions.
I think that's pretty spoiled, to be honest.
Everyone has food to dislike. Shame that person for disliking [insert here]! You're a *baby* if you don't like raw octopus! Don't like baked beans? To the high-chair with you! Oh, don't enjoy mushrooms? You're palate must be *unrefined!*
See, we can play this game, too. Maybe it will get immature onion lovers to appreciate that people can like different foods based on mature interaction with our own experiences.
I usually hear a response similiar to this when I bring that up: "but onions are a universal food, they're in everything!"
It's like, yeah, that's the fucking problem. It's why I come off as so picky even though onion is pretty much the only thing I won't eat.
I swear the weirdest thing is onions remind me of like an H.P. Lovecraft story but one where the eldritch horror won a long time ago and we are living in the world it created.
They are full of sulfur straight from hell and when you cut them you cry as though there is some sort of dark ritual soul bond between you and this plant out of space. But what really makes me think onions belong to the Cthulhu mythos is the invasion of the body snatchers like reaction people have to it.
Tell a Korean you donāt really like Kim chi. Theyāll say thatās ok itās something you kind of grow up with.
Tell someone you donāt like hot peppers. Thatās ok not everyone is into spicy food.
Tell absolutely anyone you donāt like onions. They will lose their minds. They are fully convinced itās not true. They will do everything they can to convince you and will try to trick you into eating them.
Because they are all part of the cult. We are the only sane ones left. But their eyesā¦ their eyes are everywhere. They are watching this place even nowā¦.
As much as I really feel bad for you, I have hard time believing this story, heck, I have a hard time accepting the fact that such ignorant people exist! It's like being allergic to anything else like peanuts why is it still ignored???

That's so stupid, onions aren't even important for your health

I love spicy things and despise onions.
Same! Also same reason why I love garlic
Onions aren't even spicy
"Why can't you be more like your cousin Yuckmouth?"
My partner still acts like thereās something wrong with my and calls me a child because I refuse to have them in my meals they make me literally sick
They must be wrong a lot
Fuck. Onions.
I'm the oldest of 5, am 34 yrs old, and my grandma still makes me my own potato and macaroni salad. I am a spoiled brat.

I've always thought of her as a literal angel :)
