What are your thoughts on onions?

[Gups]

Can't you guys just use a food processor to chop your onions?

400 pound man in a cowboy hat named Stacy.

How do you know the name of his cowboy hat?

[Caliga]

There's a little brass plaque on the front of it that says "Stacy".

I agree with DSB about Quizno's.  The toasting sub thing was a gimmick to justify charging $2-3 more for the same sub you would get at a Subway.

I recently bought a device to chop onions and other stuff. Goes much faster, less fuss.

My question, for those who cook, however, is just how necessary are onions in your own cooking? Do you guy them by the bushel and put them in everything? Or do you only use them in the odd dish as needed?

I always have onions around.  They are an easy way to favour a dish.  I use them in most everything I cook.

What dishes don't you favour?

A simple compliment goes a lot further, IMO.

Nah. I just wanted to complain about onions being in everything and lazy cooks destroying good food that way. Now that I've done that, make the thread what you want.

i propose we turn this into a thread to slag on Meri.

Quizno's was FAR more expensive than Subway, especially for the ONE sub they made that I liked (some limited time dealie that involved steak, provolone and rosemary- I'm a little hazy on it now, since it's been eight years since we even had a Quizno's in the area.

I loved Quizno's for a while-- the honey bourbon chicken sandwich was awesome-- then they had a really good buffalo chicken sandwich.  Every time I tried a ham or turkey sandwich I wanted to gag, though.  Most rubbery overprocessed lunchmeat I've ever had from anywhere.  They switched up the chicken to some cheaper version as well.  And they claim to use premium ingredients.

Subway is my go-to when I haven't thought much about lunch and need something quick. 

Although, I always drive by the former Quizno's and laugh- the enterprising individual that bought the place and turned it back into a pizzeria apparently had no budget for signage, so he just used letters from the old Quizno's sign and made it "zino's."

  That's standard practice in my old hometown of Huntington, WV.  I always took it as a warning to avoid the place.  I'd be embarrassed just to walk in the door.

Cooking with onions is lazy?

Have you ever actually tried cooking with onions?

All the food threads though have finally answered one of languish's eternal mysteries - how did a shy mennonite lad from northern Alberta hook up with a brash illinois mother of four?

Apparently, they bonded over them both having completely irrational food dislikes.
