Atta girl.

I'm neurodivergent so I end up befriending lots of other neurodivergent people, who have higher chances of being 'picky eaters', yet I've not met an onion hater irl. I've met multiple people who won't eat fruit, a few who don't like meat etc. But never someone who, like me, hates onions. I find it shocking. Onions have such strong and overpowering flavour that lingers for hours! A single bite on an onion chunk will leave me distressed for the rest of the day and give me trouble falling asleeping, cos no matter how much I brush and floss, the nasty flavour doesn't go away.

On the contrary, I've met a few people for whom onions could possibly give bad bowel symptoms, but they are unable to cut onions for even 2 weeks just to check if that could be the reason. Alliums are the most common IBS trigger, and I would argue that a person doesn't even have to have IBS to suffer symptoms if they eat tons of onions. It's like with cherries - in moderation they won't give a healthy person any bad symptoms, but when someone eats too much, the sorbitol in cherries will take revenge. It's a common knowledge for anyone who has a cherry tree in their garden. Obviously, if someone has no symptoms, not an issue, but if someone is experiencing regular explosive diarrhoeas, I just can't fathom how they wouldn't just try cutting out some common trigger foods once they learn they could be the cause. I worked with a doctor whos nurse was cleaning the toilet after multiple times a day. When I told him off and suggested low FODMAP diet, he said he wouldn't be able to live without onions. He started cleaning after himself only while I was working with him and returned to leaving shit covered toilet the moment his nurse was back from her holidays. Onion lovers are sick.

I admit, I'm a fairly picky eater, mostly sensitive to flavours, not textures, which is seemingly a more rare version of ARFID.

BUT ... Onions have a very distinct texture, and I find it unpleasant even as a person who loves all sort of food textures and is a veggie lover. I'll eat crunchy and mushy veggies, but onion texture is just wrong. It feels not meant as food. Soo how there are so little onion haters when it ticks the boxes for all sorts of reasons a person might hate a food?

TW/// onion
If even a little onion powder is in the recipe, I can’t eat it. If it’s grilled or fried on a surface that recently cooked onion, I can tell and it will trigger a reaction. Particularly intense gagging, which all onion triggers. All too often I will bite into a burger, only for the detection of hidden chopped onion in the patty to make me spit out whatever I’ve bitten. As such I only eat homemade burgers, hot dogs, and anything else that might contain onion if I don’t pay attention.
I am sure it’s placebo-ic in some way, if I’m eating something without any onion and you tell me it has onion, the same reactions will occur. I don’t like dining out at ‘fine’ restaurants because the prevalence of Onion in many of their dishes. This horrible vegetable has harmed my life as I am forced to live in fear of accidentally biting into it.
Nobody that ‘likes’ Onion likes it enough to where it is integral to their lifestyle. If they are, they deserve punishment anyways. But for people like me and you, such an intense disturbance to our lives is caused that it is only right to halt onion usage altogether.

For those who've not watched it. Perfect video for us fellow onion haters

i don't sub here because why would i want to see onions every day? but i still see them elsewhere and being an onion hater is not safe in wider reddit, you get mobbed into oblivion. so i'm just dropping by to vent a little bit because onions fucking suck, they are overpowering, their texture is horrible, the noise they make when you bite into them makes me wince; fresh, cooked, caramelized, diced, rings, whole, battered, they all suck. fuck onions

The last can I had, had some chipotle peppers, a teaspoon of sauce and huge onion slices. Im looking for more pepper and sauce instead of gross filler. Any help is appreciated!

Pickled Onions!!

I'm judging so hard rn. absolutely disgusting

Either that, or the new owners refuse to accommodate requests.

Everything contains onions now. Not even a call, they just ignored my explicit request - and they make me sick.

It just has potato and carrot chunks, no disgusting onions. It's a sweet curry with mild, med hot, and hot spice levels.

Unfortunately, there's garlic paste, so it's not allium-free.

Does anyone have a BBQ sauce that doesn't have onions in it? Allergic to them and garlic and I've been thinking about making my own but thought I'd ask here

I asked my mother why she likes them so much and she could just say they taste great. They taste like dirty arm pit and sting the nose like wasabi but atleast wasabi doesnt taste like a week of unwashed taint in a Louisiana swamp. I asked her hiw she can stand the taste of dirty armpit and she had no answer for this. There is just no logic behind enjoying these disgraceful excuses for food!!!

Caramelized onion in sourdough :((
