 An Onion a Day!




There are many different kinds of onions. There are spring onions, Spanish onions, garlic onions, normal garden onions, and many others, too. And onions are interesting. You can fry them, boil them, grill them, pickle them, and so on.

So, why do people like onions? The answer is easy! They make food more interesting. But, is this always true? Sometimes onions, especially garlic onions destroy the real taste of good food! Onions are very dominating!
