to think there is no place for raw onions in sandwiches

[mycatlikestwiglets]

I've just picked up some lunch from a popular sandwich venue and, as usual, have had to pull out the best part of a raw red onion before eating it. AIBU to think that there is no sensible justification for having raw onions in sarnies? Surely the vast majority of people who buy lunch in these places are office workers who don't want to spend the rest of the day breathing onion stink all over their colleagues? (And yes, I know I could bring lunch from home instead of wasting my money blah di blah but I can't be arsed really don't have time to make lunch every day.)

YANBU

Horrible and unnecessary - I spend the whole time picking them out of sandwiches or avoiding the breath of someone who's eaten them

Mmmmmm corned beef and onion sandwiches. Yummy!

YABVU. Delicious!

YAB ridiculously U. Raw onions are da bomb - in everything!

Ugh, I go through life picking raw onion out of things - when did it become expected that Every Bluddy Thing gets garnished with red onion?

I'm always having to remember when ordering sandwiches or burgers to request No Raw Onion! But it still appears where it has no business being (in a Caesar Salad, frinstance, in sandwiches at a bring-along supper, or sprinkled on a bowl of soup)

YAsoNBU. I hate raw onions. I love them cooked. I hate raw onions. I love them cooked. I hate raw onions. I love them cooked. I hate raw onions. I love them cooked.

Can you tell what my problem with raw onions is? They repeat on me . Love them cooked in a hamburger, sauce, curry, etc, but bleurgh, raw.

Aw damn, I've just taken some toasties out of the Breville, wish I'd put onions in them now :(

I love raw onions. But I don't think UABU in your complaint. Raw onions hate my MiL. Yet they smuggle the fuckers in everything.

Once she ordered a prawn cocktail, and it was riddled with the fuckers. The waiter plonked it down with a flourish and her face was heartbreaking. She was crestfallen.

Yanbu
Raw onion is pure foulness. Vom.

YABU, as I love raw onion, especially in a cheese sandwich, or thinly sliced with fresh crab, but YANBU as it's difficult to get the onion stench out of my breath for days.

The onion's dipped in salt, not me - that would be weird.

I love raw onions, raw garlic and raw capsicum peppers all together whether in a sandwich or a salad. You sound like a wimp not liking these fine foods.

YANBU!

I have been complaining about the same thing for years.

The only saving grace with Pret food is that they leave the onions quite big, so they are easy to pick out.

Oh dear, just read this after enjoying a cheese and onion sandwich for lunch. I only do this if I have access to my toothbrush and toothpaste though.

When I was training to be a teacher my mentor told me a good way to stop children trailing you around the classroom was to eat onions and drink coffee just before lesson time...

YANBU. I sometimes like raw onion in a salad but it's definitely an occasional choice not an everyday thing. And I don't want it on my workday sandwich. It has to be a cost thing, surely? It's cheaper than posh salad and they want something to ring the changes from bog standard Iceberg lettuce.

FatherHankTree mmm, spring onion dipped in salt sounds lovely, actually!

HoneyDragon raw onion in a prawn cocktail? That's just mean. And so very wrong.

Yup, actually in the Rose marie sauce, stealth onioning is cruel.

Snazzyenjoyingsummer it's heavenly, especially with a large hunk of cheddar.

YABVU raw onion in sarnies is the way forward

Yanbu raw onions are vile. It took me a long time to accept cooked onions.

YABVVVVVVU!!!

Love raw onions in anything!

There is no place for raw onions in a civilised society. That is all.

Lol at stealth onioning. The very worst kind of raw onion torture.

Aw, well I like a wee bit of raw red onion on my sandwich but you'd best have some gum on hand no doubt.
