I use yellow onion for general cooking (they are usually the cheapest at the store). White, sweet, red, etc., if the recipe calls of it.

Vidalia 90% of the time. Wasn't an option on the vote

Can't cobble it together with other sweet onions

Omit entirely because I hate onions.

Through a long process of tracking and eliminations, i discovered that onions are a migraine trigger for me. So I have to unfortunately choose none. I love onions but can’t have them. I also think I’ve made it worse by eliminating onions completely because if I eat out and get an onion or they use onion powder in the food, i get a headache every time now.

Onions and garlic hit me like a ton of bricks. They are high FODMAP foods. I love both of them but cannot tolerate any at all.

Restaurants are no longer any kind of fun for me. Being celiac I can't have any gluten at all. Some restaurants do a good job but most are risky for contamination. The thought of spending the next 3 days curled up in a ball in the bathroom kind of takes away the joy of eating out.

grilled on a burger or steak

sauteed in many things

fried, as in onion rings, delicious

green on a salad or as a garnish

even leeks in various recipes

raw, red or white on a sammich

and a nice sweet onion sliced thin on a pizza,


all delicious
some stronger or hotter than others


all good

FODMAP -- had to look that one up. Learn something new every day.

fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. Who knew?

White

I’ll add, I stepped outside to look at the night sky before getting ready for bed. I saw the constellation, Orion, in the southeast sky. Opened up SigFoum in bed and wondered, “What’s Todd have to say about Orion?”

Oh. Onion. Nevermind.

That reminds me, I need to order the new catalog.
I’ll be planting onions before too long. Order yourself a catalog.

Check out Dixondale Farms in Texas Link. Best place to get onions.
.
They have onion varieties I’ve never heard of.

Lol, only shallots on special occasions for me, like a risotto. They have these little pearl onions that I’m falling in love with, too- can’t remember the name. I admit I use purple onions for pizza, and a plain old white for scalloped potatoes, but yeah, otherwise the yellow/sweet. My brother used to eat onions like an apple.
We only seem to get vidalias at certain times of year, so I just grab the usual yellow/sweet. I’ve seen posts on social media about the different types of onions and their best use..I read it, then blew it off.

Pickled red onions are good with pulled pork. Lightly battered onion rings, mighty fine anytime. White ones on pastor tacos, and hot dogs. Mostly use yellow on everything else.

Vidalia....

Sweet Walla Wallas preferred.

Onions are one of my favorite
garden treats. Fixed about anyw
from fresh out of the dirt to roasted whole.

I chose yellow but I definitely change depending on what I'm cooking.

Vidalia and sweet are basically the same as far as I know. It is a sweet onion grown in a certain area. So all Vidalias are sweet onions but not all sweet are Vidalias.

Yellow are versatile.

I'll take any kind I can get. I do like green onions for salads and garnishes, but otherwise I don't really have a preference. We buy whatever is on sale, and go through a lot of them. We also grow our own.
