    Look, onions are like anal sex. If you were forced or tricked into having it as a kid, chances are you don’t want it when you become an adult.

        I used to hear that in high school when we were seeing who could be the most offensive. I still slip up sometimes and use it as a dark joke, and it’s always received as well as it has been here.

          Some of us laughed.

          I was trying to extend the joke but then looked at everyone’s responses and decided it wouldn’t go over well

        Do they still feel slimy if they’re finely diced? I love the taste but hate the texture of mushrooms, and mincing them to incorporate into a dish is the best of both worlds for me.

          for larger bits of mushroom just cook them like you hate them before anything else. It’s really difficult to burn them, so just keep cooking them until they stop screaming and then add them to liquid as late as possible. The thing that makes them slimy is cooking them in moisture, so by doing this you will guarantee that they don’t become slimy

      Congratulations, I think you might have a truly original experience. Never seen a kid that doesn’t like onions in any way, so they don’t need to be forced to eat them. And why would you force that in the first place? They aren’t the kind of vegetable that you need to eat, they’re there for flavor. I’m certain there’s some deeper issue here, you might want to figure that out.

        You must not know a lot of kids or have a lot of world experience. Onion is a top picky eater food. Why do parents force kids to eat them? Perception of table etiquette.

        Pretty easy thing to explain, if you are over the age of 15.

        I just don’t like big pieces of mostly raw onion. If it’s in a dish it’s great, but if you put a slab of raw onion on my burger I still will remove it. Minced onion is fine, but a lot of places put way too much on, so I have to scrape a bit off first…
