Default less pungent alternative to onions?


"OhioGuy" wrote in message ...
I LOVE onions. I enjoy growing them, and using them in a variety of
recipes and cooking.

My wife, on the other hand, loathes them. She especially hates the smell
of them cooking, but can tolerate the taste somewhat once they are cooked.

For some time, I've been wondering if there is something similar tasting
in the gardening world that doesn't smell quite as strong when being
prepared and cooked?

We've had a lot of arguments over this. I really don't want to give up
on onions, but would be willing to try an alternative to try to make my
wife happy. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks!

You could buy her a Mercedes... she'll learn to love onions.

There are many, many types of onions, from powerfully strong to meekly mild.
Ask your produce manager.
