ONIONS!!!
If you've known me for any amount of time, you probably know that I have an extreme disdain for ONIONS. I made sure to post a picture with multiple kinds of onions, as I'm non-discriminatory when it comes to onions. There are lots of things I could have listed such as mustard or birds, especially live chickens, but onions are probably the thorn in my side most often.
I've disliked onions as long as I can remember. My mom blames our friend Cathy. She claims I wanted to be like Cathy when I was little and once I found out that Cathy didn't like onions, I swore them off too. Well what I have to say to that is, Cathy is a smart woman! Lol. I've ordered things with no onions for as long as I can remember. Don't go thinking I can't taste them either. You hand me that McDonald's hamburger with those tiny little devils all over the bun and I'll know immediately. I don't even have to open the package to sniff them out. I always order my hamburgers with "Cheese, ketchup, and pickle only, please". Yeah, I'm every fast food worker's worst nightmare. I'm the person you're likely waiting on in the drive-thru. When you're thinking to yourself "What on earth is taking them so long?" I'm waiting the extra 2-5 minutes it takes them to make something fresh because I requested no onions! On the bright side, and possibly something you too should consider, my hamburger is always piping hot and fresh!
When I was little and visited friends, I'd avoid the conversation of how odd people thought I was by lying and telling people I was allergic! Please, if you're reading and you're genuinely allergic to onions, I apologize...but I've yet to encounter someone who is actually allergic to onions. It did save me as a child. I'd say the parents didn't really believe me, they probably just found it easier to go along with me.
Now, in the adult world I do have manners. I don't lie and no, I don't list onions under my allergies. lol I usually just tell the truth, "I don't care for onions". I get strange looks as if I'm joking and I can't see why people don't understand that something so gag-inducing is yummy. The texture, the taste, the smell, the ...*gag*. EW. Everything about them just makes me sick! Unfortunately, my dear sweet husband is in love with them. They're listed under heavenly treasures in his book. Unbelievably, he's made adjustments and I rarely have to cut or even touch an onion and he's known to make separate dishes for himself that include onions. Isn't he sweet? I do try and be nice and purchase them for him on occasion. I've even offered to slice them, though he knows that the whining that ensues isn't usually worth my half-hearted offer. LOL
