    I love chives. I grow them fresh in my garden.

    God tier in buttery scrambled eggs

    Like all alliums they are tied at the top above all other plants

    Chives belong covering the dish they adorn. For me I cant make a potato dish without it.

    Chives are the sprinkles of the onion world – colorful, exciting, a delicious adornment to every savory dish.

    for me it’s garlic = onion > chives > leeks

    Chives are our signal. Our secret handshake. Chives signify good times and that the bearer is part of the Allium Alliance.

    Where chives are sprinkled, depth is promised.

    I put them on top of my dishes as a garnish.. so clearly they’re on top of the hierarchy (if going by volume used)

    Did you get that utensil at Spatula City?

    Wherever you say dude with a knife 😳

  11. When I was a kid and even though I hated onions (don’t worry… I got better), I loved chives.

    They fit in my mouth, like the rest of onions 🥰

    I have massive respect for chives! When my husband had yo follow a no-fodmap diet (which meant no onions or garlic), chives became a cornerstone of my cooking as they are softer on the stomach.

    It gives me great joy to look upon this food. 10/10, no notes.

    Have you ever had a Seattle dog? This is like 90% of the way there, just missing the cream cheese. Don’t knock it till you try it!

    They’re one of my favorite spring/summer herbs. Love them in a sour cream based dip or on a loaded baked potato

    Right between delicious and scrumptious.

    In my mouth. They slot right in there, super conveniently.

    They fit very well hierarchically into my belly

    My grandma had a little chives plant and i would always get a butterbrot (sourdough bread with butter salt and chives) so that instantly makes it an s tier

    When I was a kid there was this big patch of chives growing wild behind my friend’s house. All the neighborhood kids would play in there and eat chives.
    Then one day we went back there and another kid’s grandma had hung herself from a tree in the patch.
    So chives remind me of this. I’m a chef so it kind of comes up a lot.

  25. Try garlic chives too since they’re pretty different than the normal chives. I can never eat normal chives again since eating garlic ones!

    Why chives? When i can get cleaner taste with scallions.

    In my stomach is where they belong, be it with onions or alone
