What are your thoughts on onions?

[sbr]

I really like onions in almost every situation, but I hate mushrooms with the white hot passion of a thousand burning suns.

Pickles are my one 100% irrational food dislike, going right back to my childhood.

It doesn't make sense - I like cucumbers, and I like it when other things are pickled.  But traditional pickles themselves?  No thanks.

I'm eating bread and butter chips as i type this RIGHT NOW!

Fill your boots.

With shrimp and assorted seafood?

it's like you people have a different word for everything.

"Send me your gran" - "Have a nice day"
"Looks like hockey sticks, eh" - "Nice lawn"
"Canada, eh" - "I am feeling a bit insecure and in need of affirmation"
"How aboot the game" - "Nice meeting you"

You definitely have to be careful with raw onions, but disagree that using onions as a base ingredient gets "boring".

However, I have been throwing diced celery into a lot of dishes, even if not specifically called for.  It does add a different something.

I like celery, even though sometimes even after thoroughly washing it it has a slight dirt taste.  Wife & her family (which I'll extrapolate to Argies in general) can't stand it so we almost never cook with it.

One other thing Argies seem to really hate is pickles, or really cucumbers in any form.  She has the kids totally turned off to them as well as several other things I like-- we have a covert war going on with the kids and their food tastes.

Pickles are good, but they don't really go with anything else.  Despite the inordinate efforts made by fast food restaurants to convince otherwise.

FACT:  They are an essential part of a Chik-Fil-A sandwich.

There is no essential part of a Chik-Fil-A sandwich.

[Norgy]

Not even the "We hate gays and are morons" sauce?

[PRC]

Onions are an extremely important part of many dishes, across many cultural cuisines as well.

There is no sauce.

The chicken is essential. Bun optional. Pickles

Course, I always just get the chicken strips.

@Derspiess, there's barbecue sauce.

[Norgy]

The lack of sauce in itself is a bloody human rights violation.

@Derspiess, there's barbecue sauce.

You can get it, sure.  But it's not essential.

[mongers]

Perhaps the problem with onions is they're a cheap ingredient, so sometime people tend to put too much into a dish.

If they were rather expensive, they'd be used more sparingly and we'd have less risk of them overpowering the other ingredients.

I use them quite a bit, but tend to choose small ones most of the time, so don't seem to have that problem.

Their fried chicken sandwich needs no sauce. 

Their grilled chicken sandwich does benefit from some barbecue sauce, though.
