"For it is every Cook's Opinion,
No savory Dish without an Onion,
And, lest your Kissing should be spoil'd
Your Onions must be thoroughly boiled:
Or else you may spare
Your Mistress a Share,
The Secret will never be known;
She cannot discover
The Breath of a Lover,
But think it as sweet as her own."
--Jonathan Swift's translation of Martial's "Xenia 18"
(which is actually about green leeks)

I love onions my ex hated them. I remember once I made something and I put onions in it. His sister was visiting and she liked onions too. I didn't chop them small enough and he found a piece. He stood, yelled, and I ducked just as the plate hit the wall behind me. Doesn't sound funny but the expression on his face.

Hehe Onions do tend to cause strong reactions...

I do love roasted onions, though, and I think the smell of onions and peppers roasting in olive oil is one of the heavenliest aromas on earth!
