DO NOT LET THE LACK OF ONION HOLD YOU BACK! MAKE THOSE ONION-LESS ONION RINGS, DAMMIT!

That would be called a Chiro

You mean a churro? Nah, that's something else entirely.

Deep fried doh? I think that is a Churro exactly

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Onion Rings are only good 20% of the time.

You have made a powerless enemy today.

[kaijyuu]

I have a confession: I hate the texture of onions.

They taste great! But make sure you use onion powder for the flavoring, not onions, else I'll pick them out. 'Cause their texture is gross.

...
Churros tend to be stick-shaped and flavored with cinnamon and sugar. Neither of those things apply to onion rings, regardless of lack of onion. Yet another enemy made in this thread.

If potato is a vegetable, that.

Onions... no. Literally the only thing with onions in it I can stand are sour cream and onion potato chips. Otherwise the things taste unequivocally foul to me

It's really annoying. Lots and lots of stuff that looks and smells really good have onions in it, but the bloody things just ruin the experience for me. Even if they're really finely diced or whatever... doesn't matter. If I had a tenner for every time someone told me that you can't taste the onions that was a damn dirty lie, I could have funded my bachelor's degree.

Kinda' like shredded coconut and baked things. I hate shredded coconut with an unholy passion. Get. Out. Of. My. Teeth. You goddamn foul tasting thread wannabe.

Their texture varies wildly based on how they've been cooked. In a ragout, they've dissolved through the sauce; in a salad they're crisp, sorta like thin slices of apple. I'll agree that roast onions are a bit weird and slimy, but they're no reason to give up on the vegetable entirely.

[Sirus]

I'll jump on the confession train and admit that I can't stand raw onions. Cooked in some manner, fine. Raw? No thank you.

Have you tasted badly made Onionrings? Great onion rings are amazing and I'd eat them instead of fries EVERYTIME!

But bad onion rings... what is the point?

May as well be touting the value of wheat.

WHEAT: One of the pillars of all post-nomadic civilization.

Nomads are cool and tall and muscular. City-dwellers are short and flabby.

Humans were shorter in the past. Five to ten inches shorter in the mid 1800's, when the first records of it were taken. You can only imagine how it was back in the days of nomads. Muscular is doubtful too. Limited diet, common disease...

If you want tall and muscular humans, you are only going to find them in the modern day.

Actually the barbarians on the frontiers of Rome and Greece were known for tallness and muscularity. Celts like Hochdorf Man in 500 BC were 6'2" tall. Their diets have been described as mostly pastural, diary and meat, meanwhile most Greeks and Romans subsisted on bread and other agrarian offerings, which are lower in protein.

There have also been other burial mounds from Northern Italy and Ireland showing the tallness of Celtic nobility. However, the size of ordinary Celts with less ample diets is hard to determine, since their burials are rarely recovered. The Greek and Roman literature stereotypes all barbarians as quite tall, though.

In general, nothing about modern man is better than ancient man. Same gene pool, really. Their capacity for height, or muscularity, or for intellect is equal to ours. The only difference is better average nutrition, and even that is just on average.

My favorite fruit is milk.

....Get out.

Come on. It's sweet, like a fruit.

[Vattic]

Wait, no, I change my mind. Broccoli. Broccoli is awesome.

With you all the way!

Cauliflower is clearly the superior tree-shaped vegetable.

If it tasted more like broccoli I might agree, it does go well with cheese sauce, though.

I'll jump on the confession train and admit that I can't stand raw onions. Cooked in some manner, fine. Raw? No thank you.

How about pickled onions?

[Frumple]

Being fair, Vat, pretty much everything goes well with cheese sauce.

I mean, like. Everything. All of it.

[varnish]

Yes, but how did they cook their onions? It's all about the onions right now.

The milk of the cow is good for the calf. And the juice of the barley for me, etc.

To me knowledge they didn't. The Ancient Romans actually ate vegetables like Onions and Potatoes raw.

Mind you they probably also cooked it...

Do you know they're the same species? :3

I find this unlikely, given that potatoes are native to the American continents.
