A good bun. A tasty onion. Flavourful cheese. What’s not to like? If it was an American factory bread-like bun with American Cheese, the onion might still make it edible.
Grill the onion and melt the cheese
I would eat that. Who doesn’t like cheese or onions?
I like cheese ,onions and bread. But I’m not in to eating an onion sliced like that, it’s insane .
I think you meant to say it’s delicious
OK, its delicious, I love to take a bite of onion like it’s an apple and it tastes great!
Just don’t forget to also take a big bite of cheese and bread! They all can be eaten as apples, just at the same time.
I have eaten cheese like an apple
If you have the opportunity, consider Limburger with onion on a nice rye bread
Yo you could make it even more beige by adding mayo but be careful, that’s a lot of flavor for you
Is it healthy? No.
But does it taste good? Also no.
I don’t know onions are tasty, cheese is tasty, I don’t see how this isn’t tasty.
As a brit, this actually looks pretty tasty!
You people are broken.
It looks rank, mate. And I enjoy Haggis.
Come on now, OP. What ever other criticism you may level at that sandwich, you can’t say that cheese and raw onion is lacking in flavour.
You do have a point. It certainly would make the eyes water. Really great to eat before a date so she knows you take gourmet food seriously.
I tried one the last time this tired low rent meme came through. It was okay. I had no problem eating it.
At least caramelize the onions and melt the cheese first.
If the ingredients are good, you don’t actually need to do that. Good cheese has nice taste that will go away if you melt it. Same as onions actually. Same with bread.
Onion on a grilled cheese? Yes, please. And, some green olives, too.
Only an American would think a slab of cheddar would be tasteless.
I like how you look at a picture of a dude eating a raw onion and a slab of cheese on a roll and think “fucking Americans.”
Yawn yawn yawn, get new material Lemmy.
And you think “brittish food bad and bland” is some kind of revolutionary humour here?
I didn’t make the joke. I think the sandwich looks awful no matter who’s eating it. I do not discriminate in my hate for awful sandwiches, I will dole it out accordingly.
But you did read the post, right? You understand what we’re talking about here, right?
I appreciate what you’re saying, but I wasn’t aware that commenting on a post suddenly made me adopt any and all of it’s opinions. But when I see folks turn a post about a cheese and onion sandwich into an America bad jerkfest, I just felt compelled to point out how stupid that is, in spite of the fact that I probably agree with them.
Turning every tech post into Linux praise and every anything post into America bad does not create a healthy, entertaining community. It’s boring and repetitive. You understand that. Right?
It’s actually a tradition in between Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin to have onion and cheese sandwiches, Limburger cheese is made in Monroe and is quite possibly the best pairing to raw onions, so I wholeheartedly believe it’s now almost entirely exclusive to the American pallete nowadays, and this post is the anomaly.
Well that’s weird, but you Midwesterners are weird to me, so it makes sense!
I always liked to joke that, like, west of Wisconsin and Minnesota is the Midwest, and then Montana and Nevada are the West, and that Illinois and Indiana are the Mideast. It’s not a good joke.
My not-a-good joke that I’ll say anyway is, when someone asks my age, I’ll say something obviously too young, like 25. They’ll smirk or roll their eyes, and I’ll continue, “I am twenty-five years old, but I’m also sixty.”
No one has ever laughed. And, that’s why I keep saying it. Someday, someone will laugh, I just know it!
I like the joke, and maybe I’ll steal it in 20 years or so.
They are projecting their own “cheese products” unto the cheese of others.
We do in fact have cheese here
Emphasis on the “slab”. I add a cheese slice to my sandwich and feel indulgent.
They wouldn’t feed you that in prison, and the warden’s a bastard.
You would never have been able to afford to eat this during rationing, that’s an entire family’s cheese allowance for a week.
What’s with the poor cropping epidemic? Seriously.
Adds a certain je ne sais quoi to shitposts.
Probably on purpose to up engagement by getting complaints about it
Cheese and onion is a pretty strong flavor.
Deliciously so.
Especially stinky cheeses like Limburger
TBH, onion sandwich is delicious. Never tried with cheese tho
(Just sliced onion and a lil bit of oil (I use soy oil because it’s what we use, and it’s cheap here, but I guess olive oil may work) in a baguette. You can add a pinch of salt or pepper if you want)
TBH, cheese sandwich is delicious. Never tried with onion tho
TBH, cheese and onions are delicious, Never tried as a sandwich tho.
TBH, tried never tho sandwich, delicious a and cheese onion are as.
Are you OK friend?
A Hawaiian corset tests hundreds; indie hero icon hence absolved.
You two should get together.
Try lightly toasting the sandwich too.
Did you miss the part where Churchill is dead?!
He’s burning in hell. I’m savoring a delicious onion sandwich in celebration. What could be better?
A hint of brown mustard?
American here. Why is Churchill burning in hell? He lead your country through WWII and D-Day.
…wait. Are you a nazi supporter?
He did do that, but was also big racist. Not nearly as motivated as Hitler, but similar viewpoints.
Also helped create the UN, welfare state and a minimum wage.
Google Churchill and Bengal famine.
Lots to choose from, but this is usually the one I like to point to:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/nov/30/athens-1944-britains-dirty-secret
Probably referencing this, and similar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943
Churchill had little to do with it, other than not having enough shipping and having to prioritise feeding troops who were fighting Nazis at the time.
Also from your link…
The provincial government never formally declared a state of famine, and its humanitarian aid was ineffective through the worst months of the crisis. It attempted to fix the price of rice paddy through price controls which resulted in a black market which encouraged sellers to withhold stocks, leading to hyperinflation from speculation and hoarding after controls were abandoned. Aid increased significantly when the British Indian Army took control of funding in October 1943
Any explanation for this one?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/nov/30/athens-1944-britains-dirty-secret
Oh, are we gonna get into a pissing contest about which system of government has killed more people?
other than not having enough shipping and having to prioritise feeding troops
That is a choice he made, not something that just happened, and it resulted in at least a million (likely many more) civilian deaths in their own territory.
The provincial government
Gee, I wonder who put the provincial government in charge in a British colony? 🙄
And why did he make that choice?
Just to clarify, I’m not British.
But what @I_Fart_Glitter said.
Breaking news
You should try a Hemingway sandwich. It’s peanut butter and a slice of onion on bread. It is surprisingly delicious, savory, sweet, nutty…
