I do not want onions in my food.

I hope you will not think I'm being rude. I do not eat onions, raw, cooked,or in sauce When in the kitchen you'll have to pause I do not eat red,white, or green Of any onion you've ever seen No garlic no leeks no chives, the freaks Nothing big, small, minced or powdered No nothing at all, no alliums alloweded. Will I die? No not in that way But I would have a VERY bad day

Every night I get out of work and go to gym to run on tread mill every night so does onion boy. I can smell the onions coming out of his pores from 5 ft away. It would be different if it were just cumin or garlic. But he has to smell like the devils orb. Should I confront him? Start picking a different time to go? Will I get used to onion smell? Only eat garlic to keep him away from me?

I have a legit allergy to onions. And not just onions-the whole family! It’s called “allium” and contains: Garlic Onions Scallions Asparagus Chives Leeks

So for people who have reactions, garlic and onions are usually found together. That just magnifies the allergy! Allium. Hate.

I liked chopped salads - they make an easy lunch. But they've started sneaking scallions into some of them - which are just as bad as onions to me. Why? Just why?

Does anyone else agree? I've hated onions since I was a toddler, and I'm 17 now. I dont give a shit if their cooked, sauteed, or what but they disgust me. The taste is horrific, if theres onions in my food and I bite into one I gag and almost puke. I cant STAND them. They all need to die. FLAVOR IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT ONIONS!!!!!!!!

EDIT: I apologize for saying I wish I was allergic, I'm truly sorry to the people that struggle with the allergy since I know it must be such a pain. Please forgive me, but I still hate onions and you do too :)

The biggest problem is appearance and texture. I can't handle it at all. I've tried to force myself into it a few times but got far from succeeding. I don't know where you guys live but in Brazil onions are very present in everyday food, healthy or not, doesn't matter. Ordering food is always a nightmare because although you make notes BEGGING to them to not put onions on your burger, pizza or whatever, you never know if they gonna comply. A simple thing becomes stressfull because of onions. I just wish I liked them.

in fact, i enjoy using onions in my cooking but ONLY if i fully cook them. the reason for my strong raw onion hate is that my body seems to reject them. this happens with raw onion, but also doritos and other similar foods- i get a headache, extreme thirst, and tiredness. all i wanna do when i have raw onion is chug ice water and take a nap. it's the strangest reaction and i've never heard of anyone else having the same thing. i'm not allergic to them. does it happen to anyone else??

I hate onions and feel like it’s a sin to hate this food. I don’t logically understand why. Onions have a strong taste and weird texture but nobody turns their head if you say you hate for example, garlic (which I love). It’s not like it’s a food like ice cream which is hard to hate.

I am sure my hatred of onions is a reason my ex left me. I’m a picky eater for sure and I will at least TRY most things, but I made it clear I would not eat onions or seafood. So when I’m at her house and dinner is going to be ground turkey mixed with onion, both disgusting, I politely excuse myself beforehand to eat at home with my family. This caused her to blow up and tell me to see a psychologist or else she was leaving. It was perfectly fine for her to refuse to touch anything with pork in it because of how “unhealthy” it is according to some food myths she found online though. I wasn’t even that picky about onions. A little onion powder or a few tiny chunks in my pizza sauce isn’t a big deal. Double standard much?

Why not treat onions like other food dislikes? Everyone has their food preferences and no one has a right to ridicule another for the foods they like or dislike. It’s not like we actively choose our food dislikes, I’m sure many of us would love to be different.

"You'll like 'em if I cooked 'em" sounds remarkably close to "You just need to find the right church"

Mine were COVERED in onions (and cilantro too - I have that gene that makes it taste like soap so they were double fucked up).

She hates onions just as much as I do (we literally bonded over our mutual extreme hatred of onions when we first met lmao) and she even offered to take me somewhere else or get something else to eat cuz she knew they were pretty much ruined for me. She said “those are way too many to pick out”. Get yourself a partner that hates onions as much as you do. It’s fucking great. I love her lol

Was starving, and only had a Greek salad available. Lots of onions in it and I picked out as much as I could but there was still quick a few little chunks.

Since then I've had a lot of intestine discomfort, frequently visits to the lavatory, and generally feel bad.

This happened last time I had raw onions, and Imodium, pink stuff, and tums help, but it just suppresses the symptoms for a while, then they come back.

Anyone have a cure?

They stink so bad and if they are on your salad and you pick them off, the salad still stinks.

Last night, I happily stumbled across r/onionlovers and was ecstatic to join, because as of last night, I was, in fact, an onion lover. It also just so happened that there was a platter tray full of onions in my fridge, so of course being a new member of r/Onionlovers, I figured I'd celebrate by eating a bunch of onions on my sandwiches I had for dinner.

However, I found myself joining this community this morning due to the outright ATTACK launched upon me by said sandwich onions. I have been [tmi warning] GLUED to my toilet since 8am this morning and see no freedom in sight.

Alas, I have learnt the hard way that onions are the enemy.

Hi everyone, just wondering if there is anyone out there like me. When ingesting raw onions especially, I end up getting flu like symptoms. For example, headache, chest like cold, temperature like feeling on my head but not enough to call it a temperature and just general crappy run down feeling. Is this an allergy of some kind? Same goes with all the other family members of the onion family. Thanks in advance.

Open up my IG and saw one of the most vile things I’ve ever seen lol

I made it very clear early in our relationship that I hate onions. If onion touches anything, I can taste it. A few months into our relationship I was at her house dropping her off and her and her mom started making dinner which was ground turkey mixed with onions (both disgusting). I politely told my gf that I was going to go home to have dinner and she gave me silent treatment. A few hours later I got an angry call about how disrespectful and rude I was to her mother for leaving and how I let my mental block of eating onions cause me to spend less time with her. She would only stay in the relationship if I agreed to see a psychologist about it (and some other equally stupid things she didn’t like about me). Never ended up seeing a psychologist because 1. I don’t want to 2. I can’t pay for it and 3. She said the appointment with the free counselor at my college wasn’t good enough. Anyways, she left me about a month after this after getting mad about something small and blowing it up. I consider the onion incident to be the beginning of the end though since our relationship was never the same after. Never compromise your principles, especially if those principles are saying no to the forbidden vegetable.

This seems to be the only community I've found regarding a nuisance that will plague our lives until the day we, fierce opposers of the onion:

1. Die in suffering ourselves, after having helplessly asked waiters, family and colleagues for years and at every occasion we really don't want, or are allergic to this abomination, and find ourselves having to sit watching the rest eat anyway

2. Eradicate all onions on earth simultaneously or so fast that it will be impossible to keep growing them. We can then gloat over the onion lovers' misfortune

3. Eradicate all onion eaters on earth, then subsequently destroy all remaining onions in a slow, sadistic and spectacular fashion

4. Perform a coup d'etat on a small nation state and then declare it Alliumohnia (ohne is German for without, no I'm not German), produce everything ourselves, as the devil worshippers will undoubtedly try to poison us by putting onions in any imported foodstuff or commodity.

The last option seems to me like the best one, and I will start recruiting for our army soon™!

How do you guys feel about onion powder? Like many of you, the thought of biting into an onion is disgusting. But for me, it is not the taste, it is the texture I think.

That being said, I like onion powder and things with onion powder in them. How about you guys?

My husband would note what I said so I could discuss it my therapist later. A lot I them make me chuckle but 2:55 is the truth!
