Interesting survey.

Looks like that regardless of age, about 5X as many people prefer onions as don't care for them.

It's spelled Vidalia, and pronounced vie-DAYL-yuh, or vuh-DAYL-yuh.

Vidalia is down toward Savannah, Georgia. Supposedly there is something there about the soil and climate that makes that particular onion species sweet. You can take Vidalia onion sets and plant them somewhere else and they'll be hot again, or so I've been told.

Thank you for the clarification. I should have just written "those big, sweet
onions from Georgia" and saved myself the trouble of butchering the spelling
numerous times.

I dont mind them if they are cooked, but please spare me from a raw onion. I've always had a hard time ordering hamburgers, chili dogs and the like because people always put raw onions on them, even if you ask them not to. For a while it seemed everyone felt onions had to be put on burgers and dogs as if there was a law or something. One friend serves me something she calls potato salad that I call onion salad with potatos in it. I really cant taste anything but the onion flavor. But a lot of folks like it like that -

Onions are only beaten by garlic in the disgusting things you can add to perfectly good food to ruin it completely.

I'm a convert... I used to like my onions 'rolled in' but now prefer them 'unfurled'!

It's a no from me, it's a combination of both texture and flavor. I substitute onion powder if I need the flavor. I have a friend that could eat an onion like an apple, but watching her bite into one makes me gag.

I love onion in all ways. Boiled, fried, grilled and so on. In my opinion most of the food without onion is not tasty.

Someone has been exploring the nether reaches of the Lounge - hope you didn't catch anything.

If you find yourself experiencing side-effects due to your journey, I recommend a nice, hot Wombat Curry to provide relief.
