    This is my wife… I then had to explain to her multiple times that yes you do like onions and also garlic. I know this because over 90% of the things I cook include one or the other or both!

      Tbf that’s totally different, it’s just a tiny bit, it’s like saying that if you like ketchup you also should like tomatoes, it’s not the same

      For me it’s primarily the texture. I do like the flavor of onion as long as it’s not overpowering. Cooked or not, biting into onion is like nails on a chalkboard but on my teeth. If it’s chopped up small enough or powdered I don’t have a problem. When my wife makes food with bigger pieces of onion, she makes them big enough that I can pick out.

      For a long time, though, I would just say I don’t like onion and try to avoid it altogether.

      As a person that generally dislikes onions, it’s different - I’m not a fan of onion flavor and don’t like the texture, but I know it can positively contribute to a dish for me, primarily if it’s not overly prominent.

      It’s like seasoning, eating some seasoning alone might make it taste bad, you might dislike dishes that use it as a main flavor, but if it’s just a small component of a dish it might be a good thing. I haven’t had marmite, but from what I’ve seen it seems kinda like that, very strong offputting flavor that complements other things very well.

        yes, it’s dishonest of her to say that she doesn’t like them, when she clearly does like them as an ingredient

        nobody said they were hiding the ingredients from her, grow the fuck up
