Look, onions are like anal sex. If you were forced or tricked into having it as a kid, chances are you don’t want it when you become an adult.

I assume this was produced by a 23-year-old who thinks adulthood means something. They'll learn.

I avoided onions and peppers when I was younger because I was a picky ass eater.
Now I avoid onions because I realized I can’t properly digest them and the make my tummy sad.
I was a picky ass eater.
That's something we should all be picky about.

Caramelized onions are soooo tasty!
Don’t get me wrong, I love onions as an adult. That said, I had a procedure a few years that fucked my ability to digest allium.
I’m trying to eat fist fulls of probiotics to see if I can get back in the game.
If it’s the oligosaccharides or fructans that are fucking you up, you can heat (not fry) onions in however much oil you’re okay with in your final dish, and then just remove the onions. The flavor compounds are oil soluble, but the oligosaccharides/fructans aren’t. Smaller pieces = more intense onion flavor.
Yeah, I’ve been experimenting with that as a solution. I can also mildly tolerate them if they’re cooked high hell or used as a powder. The more raw it is, the harder it is to digest.
If I can dial the fructans down, I do a lot better.
Fingers crossed for you finding a solution that lets you get all the onion you want! Intestinal issues are so miserable

This is my story except with cheese.
Why did I have to start enjoying the taste of cheese?
Onions and peppers are some of the vegetables I eat the most of because you can cut them up very quickly and serve with simple lunches like pasta or an omelette
And to lessen the taste of onions ... either cut them very thinly ... or take the cut slices and soak them in a bit of vinegar for ten minutes.
Best way to enjoy raw onions I find is to eat them with cheese ... nothing like a plain old cheese and onion sandwich .. we discovered this in southern Spain where mountain villages serve it like that - really strong manchego hard cheese with strong Spanish onions served on hard crust baguette style bread, it's amazing
That sounds amazing, and I can't wait to try it... But I can't help but wonder how horrible everyone's breath might be there. 😬

Caramelized onions are a gateway to onion enjoyment.
These people are balanced out by the ones who use onion slices as dippers in humus with ungodly garlic ratios, and the people who eat ghost peppers like popcorn.
who use onion slices as dippers in humus with ungodly garlic ratios
I feel personally attacked.

It's worth mentioning that the flatogenic index of that kind of eating is off the chart. If anyone reading this has a diet like that please, for the love of everything good in this world, get a job that is outdoors.
Kindly stay the fuck off airplanes.
No kidding. Every time I fly I wind up on the same flight with a bunch of people that hit up an all-you-can-eat chili buffet the night before. They proudly let the entire cabin know this the very instant we hit cruising altitude.
The only upside here is that not even first-class is safe. I really feel bad for the flight attendants.
I have mercifully not experienced that. Usually, I get stuck between two people with communicable diseases who missed the early childhood education experience of being told not to wipe their nose on their hands, cover their mouth for coughs, wash their hands etc. Fml.
Yeah, that's pretty awful. The pandemic taught us all that enough people are gross like that.
At this point, I just assume that every airport is packed to the gills with coronavirus. I mask up, avoid eating with my hands, try not to eat much at all, and wash thoroughly. That said, I ate at a sit-down restaruant at O'hare this summer and immediately caught it anyway; my flight was delayed and i was ravenous.

i put jalopenos in my ass
technically we all do, just depends on if it starts or ends there.
Why we talking bad on corn
I'll take all three please
I'm allergic to onion and I'm offended by this.
But man do I chow down on peppers a lot.
Or when you got wicked GERD but those fajitas come out sizzlin
GERD.. ugh.
Got a horror story and a triumph regarding that.
One of my oldest friends had GERD something terrible.
Had a bleeding ulcer from it that nearly killed her at one point.
Was put on Aciphex but it gave her terrible diarrhea with the hot shits regardless, so I suggested she try a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar after each meal. Goes down thermonuclear hot for 10 seconds or so but eases up quite fast.
It seems counter-intuitive, but vinegar is a digestive, in that it aids digestion by being an acid base, and it also tempers the acid pumps in the stomach because again, it IS an acid, so they produce less.
She was off the Aciphex inside of three weeks. Hot shits.. gone.
For general stomach soothing, I put a capful of Braggs apple cider vinegar into a cup of water before bed. It makes the water spry and slightly tangy. Works a charm for my stomach - esp when I eat out.
Vinegar is the best!
Onions and Bell peppers ruin the mouth feel of any food they are part of and make my neurodivergent ass make the face in this picture.
Onions I can to like thanks to guacamole. Never got to like bell peppers. I can tolerate most of them, but green is a no-go.
All bell peppers taste the same to me.
They pretty much do taste the same. The red, orange and yellow are great to add to salads for a touch of color.

The different colors are how ripe they are. Green peppers are the least ripe and have a different taste because of it.

Green are terrible, but red are juicy and delicious
I love onions, but peppers I can take or leave.
Same. Bell peppers have an overwhelming taste that overpowers everything they're cooked with. Spicy chilies on the other hand are perfectly fine and welcomed.
