This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

One of the heads of garlic I grew turned out to be just one solid clove (lemmy.world)

"vitlök" - garlic

"vit lök" - "white onion"

White onions does not exist.

i mean there's silverlök, which is a very white-looking onion..

We use white onions for Mexican food here in the US. I guess it's obscure enough that they aren't used in Europe. Not a huge taste difference between white and yellow onions.

There's nothing wrong with using red onions. It's just not usually what the recipe calls for in Mexican dishes.

Many Mexican dishes are improved by adding pickled onions, and red onions are best for that. They make lovely pink brine with pink pickled onions.
