          Vidalia Onion is good this thick, but usually only in a burger. It’s a very sweet variety, though the sweetness and flavor have declined as it’s become more available I feel. At least where I buy them.

        Funny. We Iranians almost always eat raw onions alongside food, but everyone in the west seems to hate them unless it’s dripping with 6 liters of frying oil

          It really depends. Raw onions are common on hot dogs, burgers, salads, and various other foods.

          It’s not uncommon for US BBQ to be served with a side of raw sliced white onion.

          The older I get the more I desire the raw onion.

            Americans eat it as a topping on salads, burgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches. Not as an entire layer of the sandwich though.

            Not with alcohol, just in general

            Also you’d be surprised at how many “muslims” drink and fuck and gamble and do any manner of debauchery possible

        You say that now but that sounds exactly like every fucker I’ve ever heard with a hangover saying “Jaysus, Mary and Joseph and all his carpenter friends I’m never touching a pint again.”

        As my father used to say “hunger is good sauce”.

        Four pints in and no dinner I’d gobble that down. GOBBLE IT. Best sandwich I’ve ever had at that point I’d wager.

          This is the truth.

          As my father used to say “hunger is good sauce”.

          I went camping with my dad up in Canada in early April. Completely snuggled down in my sleeping bag, hiding from the creeping cold, it was the best sleep I’ve had in my life. That morning I got up and had starbucks instant coffee (no cream or sugar) heated on a pot over the campfire, and a can of Hormel corned beef hash from the same fire. That was the best coffee and best breakfast ever. I’d freeze for a other night to replicate that feeling. I don’t think it comes entirely from misery though, I think it comes from the inability to have anything else. The nearest town was hours away, and so that cheap coffee and canned hash was literally the best food available. There was nothing else to have, so there was nothing else to want.
