Same actually. But I later discovered the reason why I don't like raw onions is because I have an allergy that gives me migraines when I eat them. Cooking them is fine and delicious though.

But yeah, used to be teased incessantly by family for being "Picky."

Why do I keep seeing removed instead of some words? If anyone removed about a pack of onions?

You probably know this since you work in a kitchen, but a buddy recently taught me that the trick for taking the edge off raw onion---e.g. to put on a salad or burger---is to soak the slices in cold water for a few minutes. Keeps the sweetness and flavor, but seriously reduces the sulfuric burn!

I used to be that way. I think you'll eventually find that you like them. Not enough to take a bite out of a raw onion but being cool with them on a burger at least. Sometimes stuff like this just clicks for me as I get older. No idea why lol.
