The Onion Thread

For discussion on onion sorts.

scallions, leaks, shallots , or just plain regular onions such a variety

Where’d you get the idea to discuss onions ben?

is garlic not part of the onion family ?

Just came into my head for some unknown reason, I like the raw onions that come in Chinese curries from the take away

Yet another thread ruined by Artfoley sticking his onion shaped head in

fuck you shortarse

Allium sativum L., commonly known as garlic, is a species in the onion family Alliaceae. Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, and chive. Garlic has been used throughout recorded history for both culinary and medicinal purposes. It has a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking.[1] A bulb of garlic, the most commonly used part of the plant, is divided into numerous fleshy sections called cloves. Single clove garlic (also called Pearl garlic or Solo garlic) also exists – it originates in the Yunnan province of China. The cloves are used as seed, for consumption (raw or cooked), and for medicinal purposes. The leaves, stems (scape), and flowers (bulbils) on the head (spathe) are also edible and are most often consumed while immature and still tender. The papery, protective layers of “skin” over various parts of the plant and the roots attached to the bulb are the only parts not considered palatable.
