    I don’t like onions either. The taste is ok sometimes, but not very nice. And the texture is awful.

        I just replace it all with shallots. They’re way better, no nasty slimy texture. Fuck cooked onions, nastiest shit ever, texture-wise

            Well, it does suck. I remember when I was in high school and I found some cookbook with recipes from different countries. I tried cooking some of them and was amazed at how intense the taste was. Only later I realized that those recipes were pretty normal, they just tasted amazing compared with my mother’s cooking. It’s not that my mother’s cooking was very bland but Polish cuisine is pretty boring. It’s mostly salty and sour, not much variation. And some people never venture out beyond what they grew up with.

            Speaking as someone with texture issues and a very sensitive pallet, it fucking sucks ass. Lived in India for 4 years, couldn’t eat fucking anything even though I tried to force myself every day. I wish I could enjoy Asian food the way everyone else does :( At least I had butter chicken 😭

          You basically can, albeit not in pill form. There’s a whole category of complete meal replacement options, mostly in the form of shakes. The best known is Soylent by Rosa Labs, but there are dozens of others targeting every nutritional profile around. Most are a fraction of the cost of even the most basic foods.

          Strangely, most of those people will still not even try these.

      Out of curiosity, is it any onions?

      Like there’s white, yellow, and red onions. On top of that, lightly cooked yellow onions are far different from heavily carmalized ones (crunchy and oniony vs soft and sweet)
