What's your favorite allium? What do you put them in? Chives are near the top of my list. Fresh picked from garden in spring. In scrambled eggs.

Found them at a famer's market in Moab. They were purple and had a very strong odor and flavor. Went back the next week. The seller was not there. I have looked at the local market to no avail. À la recherche du temps perdu.

It depends. If it's something that I'm going to cook for a long time (like a stew or curry) then I'll just go with your plain ol' brown or yellow onions, whatever's on sale. If it's something where the onion is either uncooked or featured (like an onion slice on a burger, or onion rings, caramelized onions, etc.) I will try to get Vidalias. | |||

I like red onions raw on burgers and salads, and white onions in Mexican food. For long cooks I’ve started using leeks because I like the traditional idea of them and the tops are good for stock.

For most cooking, it's usually common yellow onions or white onions for stronger flavor. Shallots in some dishes, particularly when they arrive in our CSA share. Garlic in a lot of dishes. I like a slice of Vidalia or similar sweet onion on a hamburger. Red onions in salad. Green onions raw or in Chinese dishes. We had potato and leek soup for dinner last night. Does anyone have ramps in their region? They're a short-time spring item, more so south of us in West Virginia where some organizations have ramps festivals when they're in season. Chives as an accent but only in the summer when I can cut them from the plants growing outside the house. I'm not sure there's an allium I don't like.  Big Al

When I was a law student parties involved arguments. We would call the Vidalia State Patrol office and tell the dispatcher about the disagreement. They became accustomed to our calls and would joke with us and make the final decision. The ruling was made and the decision would stand. Back to the topic.

Don’t think I knew you were a law student? Also a lawyer? J
