    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.

      By the west you mean Americans, the rest of us are fine with raw onion.

        American here, my grandmother would eat an onion would cut an onion with a knife like a. Apple and eat the pieces

        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
