Texture plays a huge part in taste, and different cuts have different textures.

But also onions release oils when the cell walls are cut so the more cut ones have a stronger flavor

[-] LallyLuckFarm@beehaw.org 24 points 2 months ago

It's not just that, but the number of cuts made also increases the amount of different compounds mixing after being separated by cell walls which causes them to form new compounds.

[-] LallyLuckFarm@beehaw.org 16 points 2 months ago

Chewing will cause them to mix as well, but there's less time for the compounds to catalyze and "mature" to change the flavor very much

Building on what Lally mentions, when cutting onions for food you're supposed to let them sit a whole so said reactions can occur. About 5m from what I've been old.

What if you're closer than five meters from what you've been old? /j

I know he is a cunt and not the good kind, but did he really eat an onion? Why?

And I'm picking most of them out!

...unless I'm with a pretty girl.. and I have a chance... or I'm in literally any other kind of social setting where I might feel uncomfortable and uncool

That said, I finally had a chance to try White Castle this year and purposely ate a couple sliders the way they came. Not bad. Oniony as hell, but I kinda get it. They were so well cooked it was almost like a sauce

If you're with a pretty girl and trying to get with her, skip the onions entirely. No one wants onion breath while making out.

Fair enough!

I do love onions, they're a staple component of my diet honestly. But I do try to be cognizant of others when I have to meet with people face to face, it really lingers even after a good brushing.

Also, you don’t want to be ripping ass all night if the evening concludes more… interactively than expected.

No whole onion representation here? Sad 😞

just like pasta shapes

[-] _____@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

I used to tell my parents that they don't dice salad vegetables enough and as a result it tastes really bad and they've always given me the "ur a weirdo about it" stare but it's true.

Diced Is better most of the time unless you know what you're doing, specially with vegetables

[-] Kayday@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

A lot of the flavor of onions is released when their cell membranes are broken, so the way you cut them does change the flavor. Some cuts like minced are better for sautéing, since it will infuse more with the oil.

I've never seen a man cut such a massive on-yon before that video.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 7 points 2 months ago

I love onions! What I don't love is not really paying attention and grabbing an onion labeled Vidalia and making a salad only to find it was a yellow onion.

Mmmmmm. Burning. Lol

[-] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 6 points 2 months ago

I like the powder flavor best.

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Funny it's just like naming all the shapes of pasta and saying they're different dishes
