Red cabbage is clearly blue when it comes out of the dish machine.

So why did you call it a red onion?

I read that as “Clearly Fucking People” and I”m like “who’s Red Onions and why should I care who they’re having sex with?”

my native language calls them purple so whatever, english is just silly
but we also call the yellow/orange ones red so i can’t judge

The name for vegetable, Red Cabbage, predates the name for the color, Purple.
If you think that’s weird, look into the languages that don’t have different words for blue and green.

I don’t care about who or what they’re fucking

Purple was a color associated with royalty. And clearly a peasant food like cabbage could not be associated with aristocracy. So it’s red cabbage.

Yeah, everyone in my kitchen corrects me when I call them purple onions.

About time someone said it. Tired of being looked at as crazy for requesting purple onions.

I agree. At my work I have some customers from other parts of the world, and English is often their second or third language. We had a shawarma special this week, and the folk who called the red cabbage purple cabbage were usually (to my assumption) non native English speakers.
But it’s irrelevant, we know what is meant because we know purple and red onions/cabbage are the same. Idk about carrots tho. Can’t trust those shits

Am I the only one here who’s seen a red onion before the skin is peeled off? It’s red as hell, which is why it’s called a red onion.
People make this comment all the time, but say nothing about yellow onions, which are clearly white when you peel the yellow skin off.

Yes, and blueberries aren’t blue!

Never seen a Red onion. Whenever I’m on veg prep I’m working with around 15kg a week and they are always purple
Same with yellow onions. Where I’m from they are called brown onions. The skin is far closer to brown than yellow

They were named before purple existed

Probably named before they had a proper word for purple? I know the color blue wasn’t something recognized until recently in human civilization.

Maybe purple liked getting fucked by red. I don’t bother people about their kinks unless it interrupted service. Then I have an opinion.
