Behold the humble shallot >literally better than onion in

Shallots are good for vinaigrettes, lighter sauces, and Asian recipes. I wouldn't use them in guacamole or salsa or French onion soup (as a replacement for onions; they're pretty good alongside them though). I don't use them raw on burgers, and I don't use them instead of onion in most of my soups or stews. They aren't a good replacement for leeks or scallions.

The only people who use shallots as a replacement for onions -- rather than as, you know, shallots -- are people who hate onions. And you're not one of THOSE fags, are you?

Can't unless needing the specific flavor of special onions, like the sweet Vidalia...

Correct answer. Full marks.

Onion rings dawg.

I've NEVER cooked with shallots (just scallions/reg onions) What's a good shallot-specific dish /ck/ likes?

literally whats the difference between this and a regular onion?

It's smaller, milder taste, purple colored, little more garlic-y smell.

And it's god-like when it's crispy

I like them in guac, adds some nice spicyness
