Onion scandal rant
As I get older I am starting to ramble a bit about quality of
the food I eat. I am not a hard core food snob, but I am just not
happy eating sliced white reprocessed bread. This food advice is coming from
someone who just ate a steak and kidney pudding from a tin with 2005
printed on it.
One food weakness I have is that I really love pickled onions. I assume
that pickle onions can't cause me any harm, as chocolate and beer
clearly do. here I assume that the bad breath and the need to fart
are not bad things like getting cancer.
It just amazes me at the supermarket to see
jars of pickled onions at such different prices. Some jars cost
three times as others. Are pickled onions going the way of caviar.
I sometime get the cheap onions (credit crunch and all that), but then
they don't have the right "kick". Even worse some jars don't taste good at
all. The onions just look back at me and taunt me with their cheapness.
For example I really like the onions in the jar on the left. But it
is going to be a bit of an ordeal to eat those in the jar on the right.
hopefully someone will read this post and send me a lifetime supply of pickled onions. I am such a blogging whore.
