Peel them underwater then they won't hurt your eyes

good for you though - have pondered doing this for ages - thanks for the nudge.

I have read holding a chunk of bread between your teeth helps.

lol. never heard the bread will try the water one, I did the salt last time as well - I was amazed how much salt came out of them! lol.

I think they were so strong cos that day DH pissed me off so I put loads of black pepper corns and chillis in! lol.

Think if you leave chopping the top/bottom off til last that is the bit which causes the crying.

my eyes dont water at all with them in. if i wear my glasses my eyes stream.
