Onions aren’t something I choose, but they’re always in my food. They
help balance heavy flavors, but the aftertaste sticks around way too
long. I only eat them when I’m alone — and even then, just a little.
Emotion
I don’t love onions, but they sneak into everything — burgers,
stir-fry, barbecue.
They’re never the star, but somehow they’re always present. I
appreciate them in small amounts, but I also kind of wish they’d chill
out sometimes.
Texture & Taste
A bite of onion feels like a reset — sharp, cool, and super crunchy.
It’s great when food feels too greasy or heavy. But the spiciness
builds fast, and once I eat too much, it’s like: “Okay, that’s
enough.”
The worst part? The aftertaste won’t leave no matter how hard I try.
Memory
I never grew up eating onions on their own. But somehow they’re always
there — part of dishes I love, just not something I ever asked for.
They’ve been part of my meals forever, and yet I’ve never had a moment
of thinking,“Wow, I’m really craving some onions.”
How I eat with Apple
I never eat onion by itself, but it shows up in everything — burgers,
stir-fry, grilled meat.
It’s great for cutting through greasy food, but I only eat a little.
Too much and it burns, and the smell sticks no matter how much I
rinse.
So I only eat it when I’m alone or not seeing anyone soon.
Onion
aren’t invited.
But they show up anyway — sharp, useful, and always sticking around
longer than I’d like.
