No, I don't think so. He was a younger guy from the southern US, if I remember correctly. Is that something east europeans do on the regular??

    Younger guy from the southern US here, I have done this just to fuck with people. I'm just not very sensitive to the "bite" onions are supposed to have. I can chop quite a few of them before my eyes start to water.

    Your cutting technique can make a huge difference too, avoid cutting the base and there's less of that sticking l chemical released

    Southern guy probably was eating a Vidalia onion. The soil is low in sulfur, I believe, and has a more neutral acidity, so the onion is pretty uniquely sweet. I heard one older southerner call them dirt apples.
