The Charges Against Onion
Six irrefutable reasons the onion must answer for its crimes against cuisine, health, and decency.
They make you cry
The only ingredient that weaponises itself against the person preparing it. No other food attacks you before you eat it.
Completely unnecessary
Name a dish. Any dish. French onion soup included. Remove the onion. It's the same dish — or better. No exceptions.
Chemical warfare on clothes
Cook with onions once and the stench embeds in your shirt, your hands, your skin. No soap removes it entirely.
Total home invasion
One onion in a pan and the curtains, sofa, and bedsheets upstairs are compromised. It colonises every room.
They add nothing
They claim "depth" and "sweetness." What they provide is a monotonous flavour that bulldozes every other ingredient.
Unrecognised allergen
Millions suffer genuine allergic reactions and digestive distress. Yet they aren't in the UK's 14 recognised allergens.
