I love onion and over the years have converted my wife who used to hate them too.
Mike..Your 'Green Onions' are known as 'Spring Onions' over here in the UK [ add to your keywords]. As a child I used to dislike them but as an adult I like them in a salad.
I do hate, with a passion, anniseed and liquoric, YUK!

When I was a kid I really hated onions. I only hate currently the ones using the cooking technique sautéing or sweating them until they're only translucent. Yuck! Especially when they're in those large chunks in that way. Double yuck!

Onions are GREAT nothing like them white/yellow/red and the famous and best of all the VIDALIA!

It keeps the mosquitos away when you are outside and what would some foods be without them!?

Grilled onions and mushrooms
hamburger with onions
hotdog with onions
philly cheesesteak with onions
pizza with onions
cheeseballs with onions
salad with onions
tuna salad with onions
and the list goes on!

Eat them like apples slice em dice em chop em up oh so good. And yes as you get older you will like them! hated them as a kid but now eat them as much as my Father did they dont cause cancer or anything else that may harm you they are good for you so eat away!

When my brothers and I got sick as kids, my mother had a special use for onions. She used to cut onions in small pieces and hang them in little cloth bags near our beds. She said, it was to promote health and help us breath during the night. It was sure stinky! But she was right, it helps to clear your nose. Back then, people used more homemade medicines and every mother had her ways of taking care of her children. Now, maybe it is easier, but store-bought chemicals just don't feel as special as homemade onion baggies.
(Ok, enough nostalgia) I LIKE ONIONS. And they are good for you!

Obviously no one here has ever tried boiled ocra. Visualize all the runny clear snot that you've ever blown out your nose, heated up and served on a plate. Once past your lips, there's no way to stop it. I doubt you could even throw it back up.

It's funny, as a kid I was very fussy about eating. I only liked a few things. Now that I'm older I like almost everything mentioned here -- onions, pepper, olives, garlic, vinegar, etc. Plus, hot and spicy anything.

But there is one thing in this world that I still detest, ever since I was a baby. And it's something so common, so omnipresent, so world-wide, that I am ridiculed whenever I tell people...

Potatoes.

Hate 'em.

Hate 'em baked. Hate 'em mashed. Hate 'em fried. Hate 'em frickin' fricasseed. I hate potatoes.

QUESTION: If you hate onions, you must not like onion rings, either. But, do you also hate the batter for hanging out with the onions? As well, the oil that cooked them?
