| Why do restaurants put these on sandwiches and salads? So disgusting and so overpowering. Ruined my salad today. |

| I love cooked onions, but I don't like raw onions. They are too overpowering and make my breath really bad. That said, when I order a salad, I just ask the server what comes on the salad. If it includes anything I don't want including onions, I just tell them to leave it off. And if it happens to come with them on, I take them off and put them on a bread plate or a napkin and don't eat them. They're hard to miss and I've never had the case where just laying some red onions on a salad ruined the salad if I take them off. The only case is if they are chopped and then I sometimes end up with a few left after taking them off. I've never found the few that I missed to be overpowering. |

Why do restaurants serve food?
Why are you picking on the red onion? You are so against the red onion, but can't tell the server to hold the onion. |

| Agreed. Especially giant rings of them. |

| Just ask for no onions. |

| Just because your taste buds are too weak to handle it doesn't mean it's not delicious. |

| Because they are popular and can easily be left out on request. |

| You can take my tomatoes, and I'll take your onions, OP. Because tomatoes are FOUL and red onions are so flavorful and marry all the other flavors together. |

I try to live an onion-free lifd.
It's usually no problem - just ask to have them taken off when ordering. On occasion, though, I will ask if egg salad (or tuna or chicken) has onions in it and be assured that it does not, only to take a bit full of oniony nastiness. I hate that. |
