Don’t get high on your own supply? 🤷
Guys i don’t say that I want to eat it but i am saying that i also yearn to eat this thing
On the most shallow and vague level, me too. I wouldn’t say it looks inviting, but maybe compelling somehow. I also unironically like brutalist architecture, so this feels like its cousin.
I am reasonably certain any yearning would fade mid-way through my first bite, tho, as gigantic armies of raw onion just route and slay whatever other piddling forces of flavor they can find. Cheese? Bread? Erased, never heard of em.
I’ve seen half this much onion just eviscerate more composed, varied, and coordinated forces than these, just by sheer ignorant, naked, might.
Not for you?!
The Americans are not going to like what I am about to say: Beans on Toast is a great meal.
It actually doesn’t sound half bad, but for breakfast? I couldn’t.
Beans, toast, wilted spinach, fried tomato, sauteed mushrooms and onion, all sprinkled with thyme and served with a big cup of coffee.
Not something I’d eat every day, but if I’m doing stage setup for a festival with back to back shifts? That brekkie will keep you going a good 10 hours.
It’s more of a lunch thing.
Brooo beans on garlic bread, damn that would be bangin!
I don’t even like beans, but if I did this sounds like a way better texture than just beans by themselves. I don’t understand why people who enjoy them act like putting it on toast is weird.
9/10 for ingredients
2/10 for prep/cooking
Cut that onion in half to make 2 disks, then quarter those, add just enough water to steam, cover and cook until soft or the water steams away, add butter and sautee until the onions are medium brown. Cube the cheese and add to the onions, stir until melted, add a pinch of flour, maybe a crushed and minced clove of garlic and cook for another minute, salt and pepper to taste. Butter and toast the inside of the roll spread the cheese and onion mixture.
Consider taking an antacid if you can’t handle garlic and onion.
if you can’t handle garlic and onion.
At that point I’d consider violating the terms of service.
True, if you already had half an onion on bread, you probably understood the assignment. Arguably, you might break up more of the cell walls in the prep work, but the cooking probably would have tamed it all a bit.
I see the mixed and polarized reactions in the comments and I think that makes the OP a good shitpost.
This is totally me:
But we do not grant you the title of Spice Master.
If I was depressed and the onion was already cut.
Yeah I’d eat it. Might eat it like that just to see.
Any idea what kinda cheese?
Leicester ✅
that would ruin your next two days for anyone over 30
Come on now, OP. What ever other criticism you may level at that sandwich, you can’t say that cheese and raw onion is lacking in flavour.
You do have a point. It certainly would make the eyes water. Really great to eat before a date so she knows you take gourmet food seriously.
A good bun. A tasty onion. Flavourful cheese. What’s not to like? If it was an American factory bread-like bun with American Cheese, the onion might still make it edible.
Is it healthy? No.
But does it taste good? Also no.
I don’t know onions are tasty, cheese is tasty, I don’t see how this isn’t tasty.
You would never have been able to afford to eat this during rationing, that’s an entire family’s cheese allowance for a week.
I would eat that. Who doesn’t like cheese or onions?
If you have the opportunity, consider Limburger with onion on a nice rye bread
I like cheese ,onions and bread. But I’m not in to eating an onion sliced like that, it’s insane .
I think you meant to say it’s delicious
OK, its delicious, I love to take a bite of onion like it’s an apple and it tastes great!
I actually ate an onion like an apple just the other day. It reminded me a lot of raw radish actually.
I can mow down a whole bowl of radishes
Maybe some yellow onion is in your future.
(I’m not a huge radish guy so maybe there are nuances that would make you like one and not the other, but to me they seemed similar)
Just don’t forget to also take a big bite of cheese and bread! They all can be eaten as apples, just at the same time.
is everything apples?
I have eaten cheese like an apple
Grill the onion and melt the cheese
This. That’d be a fantastic sandwich if you melted that cheese, toasted the bun, and sauteed or grilled the onion.
TBH, onion sandwich is delicious. Never tried with cheese tho
(Just sliced onion and a lil bit of oil (I use soy oil because it’s what we use, and it’s cheap here, but I guess olive oil may work) in a baguette. You can add a pinch of salt or pepper if you want)
TBH, cheese sandwich is delicious. Never tried with onion tho
TBH, cheese and onions are delicious, Never tried as a sandwich tho.
TBH, tried never tho sandwich, delicious a and cheese onion are as.
Are you OK friend?
A Hawaiian corset tests hundreds; indie hero icon hence absolved.
You two should get together.
Try lightly toasting the sandwich too.
Did you miss the part where Churchill is dead?!
He’s burning in hell. I’m savoring a delicious onion sandwich in celebration. What could be better?
A hint of brown mustard?
American here. Why is Churchill burning in hell? He lead your country through WWII and D-Day.
…wait. Are you a nazi supporter?
He did do that, but was also big racist. Not nearly as motivated as Hitler, but similar viewpoints.
Also helped create the UN, welfare state and a minimum wage.
Probably referencing this, and similar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943
Churchill had little to do with it, other than not having enough shipping and having to prioritise feeding troops who were fighting Nazis at the time.
Also from your link…
The provincial government never formally declared a state of famine, and its humanitarian aid was ineffective through the worst months of the crisis. It attempted to fix the price of rice paddy through price controls which resulted in a black market which encouraged sellers to withhold stocks, leading to hyperinflation from speculation and hoarding after controls were abandoned. Aid increased significantly when the British Indian Army took control of funding in October 1943
Any explanation for this one?

Oh, are we gonna get into a pissing contest about which system of government has killed more people?
other than not having enough shipping and having to prioritise feeding troops
That is a choice he made, not something that just happened, and it resulted in at least a million (likely many more) civilian deaths in their own territory.
The provincial government
Gee, I wonder who put the provincial government in charge in a British colony? 🙄
And why did he make that choice?
Just to clarify, I’m not British.
But what @I_Fart_Glitter said.
Google Churchill and Bengal famine.
Lots to choose from, but this is usually the one I like to point to:

You should try a Hemingway sandwich. It’s peanut butter and a slice of onion on bread. It is surprisingly delicious, savory, sweet, nutty…
