Been trying to figure out how to explain to my little kids that they don't like the taste of onions, they like the flavor.
They love McDonald's cheeseburgers, chips of all sorts, all with onions. They're small, biting an onion is too much for their taste buds, so they think they hate onions.
Anyone help me articulate the idea? LOL, it's funny I think on it so much.

They taste different when cooked.

Except butter instead of oil
Coward. I use both. And then salt the fuck out of it. Every meal takes a year off my life, but fuck if I'm not enjoying the ones I'm left with

My dad hated onions, he'd pick them out of his meals like a 5 year old. One day after I found a love for cooking in highschool this happened and he decided to try my dishes. He was very proud that he only picked out 3 onion pieces and kept the rest lol.

Eat it or starve.

For me, I dislike (and as a child, hated) the texture of onions. Onion as a flavour has always been fine, it was biting them that was the problem.
Caramelize the onions a bit and blend half into a paste, ask which one tastes bad. If they answer that only the chunky onion is bad, teach them about texture preferences.

Why does it taste good starter pack.
Salt, sugar, fat, acid

A better combination is onions, carrots and celery

You forgot the garlic

Sorry .... garlic is almost automatic for me at this point when I cook, it's almost like salt and pepper ... I never think of it.
And I'm at the point where I buy about 20lbs of garlic from my local farmer every fall (I just bought my supply a couple of weeks ago) to last me the winter.

Pickled onions.... yum!

What about the wonderful stink of cumin?
It's a personal thing, but the smell of cumin kills my appetite. I had a bad experience with it once and I can't shake the association between the smell and the experience.

Wow & I thought I liked garlic, I feel amateur by those standards. Your food must taste amazing & I bet not a vampire in sight too!

Not enough garlic in that picture

Is that because it doesn't have a nose?
My dog has no nose.

salt the fuck out of it.
I misread this as 'fuck the salt out of it' for just a moment.

I don't think the distinction between "taste" and "flavour" is the right way to frame it. Raw onion on its own can be overwhelming. If you eat a hamburger with raw onion on it, the amount of raw onion per bite will be pretty small, and it will be one taste in a whole bunch of other tastes. Your kids probably wouldn't like eating pure salt, or pure pepper either. But, food with some salt tastes great.
Having said that, fried onions are a whole different game. After 5 minutes the onion loses a lot of its potency and gets a bit sweet. After 30 minutes it's basically a very slightly pungent candy. For a French Onion Soup, you can cook them for up to 2 hours before they're ready. A pot that's full to the brim of raw onions reduces down to a thin layer at the bottom, and they taste more like gummy worms than onions at that point.

I love French Onion Soup, and occasionally make it. I'd make it more, it's just that slicing up more than a kilogram of onions is a whole process. It's so difficult it makes me cry every time I do it.

How do you ensure the garlic lasts through winter?
