        As a kid when I saw the movie Holes, I was so tempted to start eating onions like apples, like they do in that scene at the oasis. I also went home after the movie and dug a big hole in the backyard because I was a fucking weird ass. Still am. Never ate an onion like that, but damn they made em look tasty.

          You weren’t a normal kid if you didn’t see something random, whether cool or not, and try to imitate it.

          Had the same experience. I thought that’d taste really sour but assumed they were focused on the water content and ignored the flavor. Such a good movie, need to get some sploosh.

      When I chop onions I will just grab a few pieces to snack on raw while I cook the rest.

      Vidallia onions are decent raw. We put big 1/2 thick slabs on burgers that way. Carmel probably wouldn’t hurt in the OP’s case either.
