Any other VIDALIA onion lovers?

[litenlarry]

Love the Vidalia onions, I can eat them like a apple..A slice of the "sweet" onion on almost everything..
Any other lovers ?
A bit of fyi..The flatter the onion the sweeter they are..

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Sorry. Don't like them.
I am known everywhere I have been as a big time onion eater. I put them on and in everything but ice cream.
Some say that onions make them cry.
The only time they make me cry is when I don't have any.
The best onions you can get are grown in West Texas and New Mexico.
The so called GA onions are mostly just water.

Conchita loves Vidalias, and buys them whenever she gets a chance. Accordingly, I like them too.

Take the onion cut a core out of the top, sprinkle a little Cavender's in the cavity then stick about a 1/2 slice of butter in. Now wrap it in aluminum foil like a Hershey's Kiss and put it on the grill. It's done when you can smell it cooking and you can squeeze it fairly easy with a set of tongs.
Take the whole mess and dump it in a bowl, discard the foil, and sprinkle with grated parmesean.

We Love em too.

We put garlic and or onions on darn near everything except ice cream.

Some days it's hard to sneak up on folks unless you come from down wind.

You went and made me hungry. Off to the store. I do similar recipe but add about four strips of bacon. Bacon is its own food group in my kitchen.

You don't put them on ice cream? I bet you're the kind of dilettante who doesn't put garlic in butterscotch pudding, either.

When I finish browsing here I'll go peel and slice a couple of cucumbers, salt them, and put them between layers of paper towels till much of the water has been drawn out. Then I'll layer them in a bowl alternately with sliced onion and black pepper, and toss them in a generous amount of sour cream till well mixed and coated. And I will be very, very happy eating them.

I've been told my French-style onion soup would bring nice money in a restaurant.

I don't think I've ever met an onion I didn't like. I mainly use hotter white ones, but Vidalias and other very sweet varieties are wonderful too.

I like them and am sad to see them go but controlled atmosphere storage is so efficient now that they are available nearly year round. I wouldn't turn my hand over for the difference between Vidalias and Texas 1015 or Walla Walla Washington sweet onions. Those Georgia boys are marketing masters though and really hit the sweet spot selling the sizzle.

I do that and even better pancetta.

I love vidalias and can't wait for them to come out each year.

What is this Cavender's of which you speak?

 

[Maddog 521]

The Vadalia onions are just to far from here. We look forward to the "Noonday Onions" from Noonday Texas. It is a small area where they grow by Tyler. IMHO they're the best we have around here.

 

[walkin jack]

Haven't had any in a long time but I DO love 'em!

 

[sureshotbob]

I love onions in just about everything ! But to me you can't beat a nice thin slice of a red Burmuda onion on a hamburger!!

Cavender's All Purpose Greek Seasoning. I buy the regular stuff in the yellow can, but they have a low sodium version. It's kind of like season salt but better.

As an aside, if you need to do it low cholesterol I have substituted the butter with Olive Oil which works great too

 

[chaparrito]

I love sweet onions. Raw or cooked but particularly in jam or a savory compote. I make a seriously caramelized sweet onion compote with balsamic vinegar and thyme. Perfect dolloped on cold tri-tip slices.
Vidalias are the first, but there are sweet onions being grown in quite a few places now. They're all good.

 

[WuzzFuzz]

Any onion better than a Vidalia, then the Good Lord kept it to himself.

[southcoast]

Love them off the grill or mixed into burger patties.

 

[wbraswell]

I love onions of nearly all types, but some are a little rough. I like all the sweet types. The rough ones are better for cooking and rings. I don't see what anybody likes about onion soup. It's like something I'd dip a roast beef sandwich in, but not eat with a spoon.

 

[labworm]

I'll stick with yellow only.

 

[Pete99004]

Don't get those here - we have Walla Walla onions instead which are better - so I'm told.
