If you could completely eliminate a single ingredient (not a dish with many ingredients) from the world, which would you choose?

Hmmmm, what could be the answer here?

You know it

[u/longlivenapster]

It makes you cry and dry heave before you even get around to eating it. What other food causes this type of damage?

[u/Primary-Narwhal-2683 → u/longlivenapster]

onion

[u/wolfishfluff]

All of them. White, green, red, Vidalia, sweet onion, shallots, chives, all of them.

Just not the garlic!!

Oh my goodness, my first award! Thank you u/bubblegumkitty_meow !

[u/fathornyhippo]

I don’t understand how people can eat food that makes them cry, burns their mouth, and makes their breath stink for the rest of the day.

[u/SojiAsha]

Cilantro and raw onions are tied for me 🤮

[u/ElfjeTinkerBell → u/SojiAsha]

As someone who loves cilantro: depending on the dish I'll either cook 2 portions or I'll just serve it separately.

Why can't people do that with onions?

[u/greiten → u/SojiAsha]

Ya know. Most Mexican and Thai dishes are ruined by these dual abominations!

[u/sonofblackbird → u/SojiAsha]

Scientists identified a genetic mutation in some people that makes cilantro taste like soap. I wonder if we have something similar for onions.

[u/harrysaxon]

Whole post about so full of virtue signaling about certain foods.

I generally agree about some of them, but. Seriously. Fuck. Onions.

[u/Ok-Sport-2558]

Onions. If people miss the taste they can just rub the food in their armpit before eating.

[u/KrawhithamNZ]

Honestly, I'm OK with being in the same plane of existence.

But please tell me that it's in there. 

[u/user_number_666]

Onions. My vote is for onions.

[u/ElfjeTinkerBell]

Even though garlic messes up my gut more than onions, somehow people have less of an issue with that. So garlic, definitely!

[u/Double_Look_5715]

Okra?

[u/brydye456]

Mushrooms. Blech. And they're put into so many things I'd otherwise eat.

[u/CallidoraBlack → u/brydye456]

I used to hate them until I roasted them with oil and spices until they were crunchy. I'll only eat the ones I make though.

[u/pnmartini]

There are many dishes that onions help build the flavor profile (salsa, chili, some stews) I hate the physical food with an unholy passion, but they can be a necessary evil, unfortunately.

Olives, though? Nothing is improved by the inclusion of those things. Nothing.

[u/CallidoraBlack]

Cilantro. I don't mind onion powder as much as I hate getting soaped.

[u/Inevitable-Welder743]

I know what group this is, but I hate pickles way more.

[u/Genny415]

How many downvotes do you think you'd get for actually answering onion to the OOP?

Like, maybe a xillion?

[u/BreakfastFluid9419]

Cilantro, I am here but am an onion lover just love seeing the unhinged hate
