This is NOT onion hate speech by any means, but rather me sharing with fellow onion lovers a risk they might want to consider about eating a lot of onions in a sitting. I will always love them and want everyone else to as well.

This evening I ate 3 incredible onion bhajis of medium-large size from my local indian place. So this probably consisted of about 2-2.5 white medium onions per bhaji? Really crispy and perfect, the best I’ve had fr, so I went for more than usual.

However, I got full really fast, despite it not being a large volume of food to get full on (for me) and really soon after eating them I had crazy stomach tightness, I was struggling to breathe no joke.

I discovered that delicious onions are very high in fructans, which are “a type of highly fermentable carbohydrate (FODMAP) that the human small intestine cannot easily absorb. When they pass into your large intestine, your gut bacteria rapidly ferment them, producing large amounts of gas that cause *IMMEDIATE* bloating and tightness.” So this explained why the full feeling came very fast when I usually eat more volume in a sitting. I’m sure the fat from deep frying also played a part hehe.

It was rough you guys. I am someone who eats a lot of high fibre and fodmap foods including onions on the regular, which I digest pretty well normally but the uncomfortable tightness lasted a good while💔I’m going to eat the bhajis again but have 2 instead of 3 next time.

Just a tiny warning to be careful when eating a lot of onions at once especially if it’s alongside fatty/ fried components. I would hate for anyone else to have a bad onion experience like me and be put off them💕💗💕💗💕💗💕💗💕💗🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅

Packaged ramen with red and green onions added in. And then pickled onions and more green on top! Perfect dinner anytime, but especially when I'm not feeling well. 😊🤤

Caramelized onions for 4 hours. I have constantly changed recipes but have settled for a mushroom/marsala for my ‘French onion’ soup.

Gonna do sourdough on top w/ cheese for my wife. I am lactose intolerant so I will dip.

Edit: Adding beef stock and cooking down now, I will post a finished product in the bowl

My local grocery store (Netto in Denmark) has onions on offer from Saturday onwards. It's the equivalent of less than 1 €/kg. The biggest question is, what to cook (other than stupid amounts of caramelized onions)?

I really like this cast iron. I cook onions ot it so much i wonder if the flavours infuse?? If it does itd be wonderful

I dyed the onions red while caramelizing them, then added some black food coloring to my Gruyère. Was hoping for Halloween themed intestine rolls, and got bloodworm swirls instead.
The small pan is Pastrami, Gruyère and onions.

Steak covered in onions, mashed potato with caramelized onions and onion tarts

Second is what was leftover so chucked them around with lime, olive oil, chilli flakes and mustard seeds.
