I hate onion fumes

[mcantar18c]

Almost as bad as actual CS gas in my eyes. Wife got this as I was making dinner, figured I'd share...

Wuss.




EDIT: On a serious note, onions never bothered me growing up. My first job was at a restaurant where I would have to prep a five gallon bucket of onions at a time and it never bothered me. It wasn't until contact technology got better, and I could afford the thinner, more breathable lenses that I started seeing what people were complaining about. I notice it most if I'm chopping onions and I happen to be wearing my glasses. Same thing with camp fire smoke.

Cut them under cold running water.

Using a super sharp knife cuts down on the irritation. So does cutting them when they are cold (refrigerated).

Please proceed to your nearest hardware store, gun shop, bait shop, titty club etc and have one corner of your man card torn off.

Thanks
Management.


Jk.

One of my friends passionately HATES onions. In HS we were in a catering class, and for S & G's, we hid his watch under a pile of onion skins. He cleared it away with the longest kitchen tool he could find, lol. Reminds me of that.

That's the thing, I love onions in just about everything. I just can't keep my eyes clear long enough to cut one.
I've tried the cold water, keeping them in the fridge, putting salt on them, etc.

Cutting onions? Pfffft, that's nothing. Try grinding them when making relish!! Practically killed me when I was younger and helped my neighbor make her relish every fall...
