    Onions. They're delicious and versatile and make most savoury dish better.

    They still make me cry though, and I must have tried probably 20+ different methods to help with it at this point. None work for me.

      I lived with someone who refused to eat anything that she knew had onion in (if she didn't know, she was fine, like burger patties), it was very difficult to cook in that household

        I was like that until pretty late in my teens. I found cooked onions kinda gross and off-putting. When I think about it now I feel bad for my mom who used to cook for me.

      Amen. Got some lotus leaf buns and I'm low on food, so probably just frying up some onions and stalk mushrooms in oyster sauce and calling it a day.

      I went to Ethiopia and found they eat onions a lot. You grind them to a pulp (e.g. In a good processor, so no crying) and fry the pull with seasonings and tomato paste. Best sauce ever.

      score the onion horizontally and vertically like a grid without hitting the root, then slice the face to create a good dice and then quickly discard the root without getting the juice on your hand, then quickly clean your knife. that's the solution.

      Very unconvential, but what I do... I have diving goggles that cover the nose and I just put them on when I cut onions. No more tears, but you look ridiculous for a while :D
