Favorite is ice cream is cookies and cream or the Breyers Heath Bar ice cream. Orange Sherbert tops both, but it ain’t ice cream.

Now explain the subtle difference between red, white, sweet, yellow onions. And when to use which. I think I asked before but I don’t read so good and forgot.

You didn't ask me, if you did I'm sure I told you to go read a book on it.

Short answer...

If a recipe calls for onion, use a yellow. They're the the most common for cooking.

White are sweeter and best to use raw.

Red are a bit sweeter than the white but, they are mostly used for aesthetics.

Shallots mostly used for sauces. They're the sweetest. Well, next to pearl but they're only good for martinis IMO.

I almost exclusively use red, not really sure why. Maybe I’ll try yellows

Love the reds when there in season. Out of season, they are bitter tasting, or, it may be me.

Onions...any one else like eating them sliced and dipped in mustard?

I only eat them sautéed or at least cooked somehow

For some reason when I hit 30, I couldn't eat them raw any more. Then, when I hit 50, I could eat them raw again.

Onions, any way, any time

I frequently have brisk discussions with the Ingles checkout peeps about yellow vs sweet onions. After a couple of explanations, I just let it go. If they want to charge me the lower yellow onion price for sweet onions, oh well.

I'll eat a Vidalia onion like an apple.

I'm good for something every once in a while. If you start using them you'll thank me later. Great in salads too.

Unlike @MoodyVol, I will try it and get back to you what I think.

@Behr , I’m devastated, but you’ll be happy:

I unfortunately broke a blue plate while meal prepping today.

Can you boil gnnochi, refrigerate then saute the next day?

Yep. Toss them in oil or a little flour and in a single layer so they don't stick together. That's a mess if they do.

Proof right there that no matter how many times you see the same gif, when it's used right it's still awesome.

I absolutely will admit, I spit my drink out through my mouth and nose after seeing you change your name to what Behr suggested. Bravo.
