    Yes, all onions are created equal in the eyes of an onion lover, all members of the Allium family are welcome.

    Yes! Of course! Green onions on buttered soft white hot dog bun with cracked pepper and sea salt.

    I’m pretty sure onions – before they were cultivated – all looked like green onion with the tiny bulbs.

    As someone who is obsessed with green onion, idk it says onion in the name. Either way I am still putting it on literally everything I eat

    These oiled and salt and pepper, grilled over coals until charred, then puréed into a sauce with butter and sherry vinegar. So good. Straight grilled is great too.

    If it looks like an onion* and tastes like onions, it’s an onion

    The other day I was camping and ran out of white onion, but had green. Massive servings of green onions on burger was good

    Green onion is onion leaf! It is as good as onion bulb and stem, it’s just different.

    Butter sautée an entire plant or twelve for fun.
