Cooking for people who hate onions

What do ya got?

Don't tell them you used onions until after they've said the dish was good.

Friend,

Leeks are similar yet superior to onions in every conceivable way, which is why they cost more. Leeks are a more than acceptable substitute. An added bonus is that if a recipe calls for both celery and onion, using leeks covers both. All of my tri-partite recipes include leeks and bell peppers and omit the onions and celery.

My wife likes the taste but can’t handle the consistency

I usually put in food processor or use hand blender followed by long cooks

The absolute worst type of person

Children: tell them that’s the way a dish is made, but encourage them to try things repeatedly. If they don’t want standard supper, they can make their own peanut butter sandwich. Unless a serious allergy exists, no one should be catering to lil Jonnys dislike of the week. Kids’ tastes change—don’t let you or the kid get trapped by what a three year old rejected.

Adults: if this is a spouse/partner, you’re gonna have to figure it out. Compromise. For guests who are friends, make non oniony things if you are inviting them over. We value our friends, and we are hospitable to our guests...so we try to make them happy.

I say let them head to Burger King or Domino's if they bitch about the food you took your time and skill to cook for them.

Unappreciative shits need to grow the frick up

Do you have any tips to deal with it?

Tell that person to stop acting like a child

I remember that episode, a few of the meals the guest had eaten a good portion of before even realizing it had onions in it then lost his mind

There arent many dishes that I cook that dont use onion. To me that is one of the most important foods in the world.

I dont adjust anything I cook for my audience, if they dont like it they can find something else or be hungry.

I don’t cook for people like that.
