It’s about the texture, the consistency and how much onion you get with your bite.
Exactly. Putting rings of onion in, say, a pot of chili would make it have a weird texture, as would dicing them finely for a French onion soup.
What’s wrong babe? You haven’t even touched your onion plate

Just shovel them into my mouth. 👀
I too love red onions.
I’d eat an onion like an apple.
Don’t let your dreams be dreams
I bit into a whole onion once. I peeled the skin first though, which tells you there must have been some insane part of me that expected to enjoy the experience. “Hang on, get that paper off first or it’ll taste bad”? What was I thinking.
If it were a sweet onion, I think I could survive it. A red onion… I think I’d toss it to the lad next to me and try to deck him when he went to catch it. Run out the door while he’s down and have a friend yell after me that I could have politely said no thanks
God I hate imagining you eating all the red onions 😭
I had a roommate that was obsessed with replicating the McDonald’s dollar menu hamburger. He said the finely chopped onions made all the difference.
They absolutely do. He is correct.
They are actually dehydrated to ship then rehydrated in the store also
This makes me want to cry
Put your head in the freezer
Snort
it’s like different shapes of pasta all over again
I’d argue that they all taste like licking a 9v battery.
Maybe I should start licking batteries, then. I had no idea they tasted so delicious.
that may be a sign you’re allergic
this well describes a taste I got when eating shrimp which otherwise had no reaction before I had a full blown puff your face up and trouble breathing from eating a different shellfish.
None of those are “finely sliced rings”, though…
Then OP must die.
Sorry, OP, that’s the way the cookie crumbles. RIP.
Yeah every single cut here will fill your mouth with red onion gas like a WW1 trench fight. The bottom right is possibly acceptable depending on what it’s going in. Top left could work in some salsas. Rest are just “chunks of onion.”
Some people love it, but if you want to turn a first-timer away from fresh red onions for life, give them large ass chunks that overwhelm the rest of the dish.
…one o’clock and three o’clock taste pretty similar and eight o’clock and ten o’clock are close-enough for most uses…
Top right, with sliced tomato, on a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese.
So good…
For the 3 on the right side, it matters quite a bit whether you slice in direction from root to stem or cross, root to stem is much better.
I want to argue you, but I can’t.
Sharp, bitter, stomach pains.
Where’s the cheese and apple?
…
yeah?
is this actually news to anyone?
“I ALREADY KNEW THIS! HEY EVERYONE! DID YOU KNOW I ALREADY KNEW THIS?!?”
yes.
