This is to make up for that other, memeworthy but somewhat ugly, guide from before.

The article above also goes into more details on each.

I used to obsess over the right onion but now I just get whatever and hardly could taste much differences. Everything works, especially if you're a amateur cook.

I find raw red onion to be super harsh, but it's delicious when pickled or cooked.

[-] sara@lemmy.today 8 points 11 months ago

Same. I was very confused they were described as mild and great for eating raw.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I have to at least soak them in cold water for a bit before adding to a salad. Otherwise the entire salad just tastes like onion punching me in the mouth.

I crossposted the other one without actually looking at the content, that's on me 😅

I had no idea shallots weren’t red onios :c

[-] Gregorech@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I was given false information when I was young that, a shallot was a cross between a garlic and an onion. It's not its its own variety within the allium family.

I like to keep a few around fir when I want onion flavor but don't want to cut into a whole onion.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I love them fried crispy. They're also great on dressings.
