      Am I wrong for liking raw onion? I mean, I wouldn’t eat it like an apple, but I do enjoy sneaking a few pieces when I’m cooking something. The crisp texture is kind of nice. Not to mention green onions - I’ve been biting the heads off of those since I was a kid.

        No. Raw onion is delicious, especially with coriander. Hummus, raw onion, raw shredded cabbag, coriander leaf, and a big dollop of chilli sauce in a wrap. It’s like eating god’s cum.

      Depends on the onion. A sweet onion, like a vidalia, is almost edible for me. We eat green onions raw all the time, and red onions raw, in small amounts, on salads. It’s just volume that makes onions challenging. And age. Onions get more potent as they age.

      But I’d eat a fresh, raw Vidalia; I wouldn’t enjoy it, but it wouldn’t exactly be suffering.

      I did the raw white onion on peanut butter challenge and it is actually a great pairing. Get some crackers, spread peanut butter, sprinkle some finely diced onions on top.
