I have a memory which I wish to share. We were on a package holiday in the US and our tour conductors always chose Indian restaurants and most of the time the starters were onion rings. In the US the size of onions is almost 5" or more in diameter something that was totally new to us The moment the waiter placed that bowl of onion rings they were grabbed and I was one of them. In our cuisine onions play a big role - in the masala, in salads, in vegetable dishes, to temper dishes, onion pakoroas.... the works. Do you eat raw onions?

I like more onions in cooked dishes, but I add raw onions to some salads.

I remember as kids we would throw them in the fire and then eat them.

@LadyDuck They become a bit sweet when baked or roasted on fire.

No, I don't eat raw onions. My onions must be well cooked. I like scrambled eggs with onions, and pork chops with onions.

There must be more dishes than just scrambled eggs and pork chops where you use onions?

Yes although not often on their own. But I put raw onion in coleslaw and in cheese sandwiches, things like that.
