Ingredient: onion

I had some strong onion in a salad a few weeks ago so maybe this is a thing now.

I haven't noticed this, but I'd guess that onion flavor varies with the seasons. Try getting smaller (younger) onions, or maybe go for organic non-GMO varieties

look up "quick pickling", or just soak them in ice water for 10 minutes. Both help to cut the intensity.

It's actually just because the moon has been in retrograde, it "strengthens" the GMO's they inject then with before shipping. All it does is makes them smell stronger, but my heart always feels weird after eating them, so now I just dig the wild ones out of the ground.

Have the knives you've been using to chop the onions been sharpened recently? A dull knife can sort of bruise the onions as they're cut, and they release a sharper flavor because of it.

Did you try turning them off and on?

The "strength" of onions is directly related to the sulfur content of the soil where the onions were grown. Vidalia onions are famous because the soil near Vidalia, GA contains almost no sulfur (the "burrn" is from sulfates that react to crate sulfuric acid). Onions haven't changed. You have just purchased some onions grown in shitty soil.

Makes sense. I went to California from Missouri a week ago and wasn't bothered by them there.

a bread knife will solve the problem. the serrated blade gets air into the slices while you move the blade forward and backwards

This guy >>9051955 has it.

From what I've been told, clay-rich soil produces sulphur bombs. The last restaurant I worked in unfortunately purchased directly from a farm with such soil. It became a regular thing for me to punish tardiness with onion duty. Nothing says remorse like an unending lachrymal response.

how old are you? our ability to smell changes with age

could also be a different batch or maybe you got a different type of onion etc

too many variables, it's probably not anything to be super worried about

It's currently onion harvest in the US. They've been shipping out of New Mexico the last month and harvest is creeping up through the mountains to the Pacific Nothwest. You've probably been eating weak ass Mexican onions that sat in a shipping container for months all winter and the fresh trucked in onions are too much for you to handle.

All the growers here are shipping you faggots spoiled onions. Good thing we are all niggers now so we can get away with it
