Some people have intolerances to onions, and I feel so, so sorry for them. I can't think of many meals where onions don't improve the flavour.
It's hard. I still eat garlic on occasion, even though it makes me sick. Luckily, I've always had a bad reaction with an onion, so my body rejects the flavor too
What about the dried spices?
I can have a bit of onion powder, but dried onions wreck my stomach
Oh that just sucks. Scallions too?
Yup! Those are just the tops of an onion plant
Cooked onions are fine, but raw red onions in salads give me terrible headaches, I always feel bad picking them out.
The first time I got covid it really messed with my smell and taste. Any kind of onions just smelled and tasted completely rotten, even onion powder. Ruined all my favorite foods, even if it was just a small part of the meal. I had just made some pickled red onions and I couldn't eat them for like 6-8 months. Worst part of covid for me by far.
