What about minced up or cut greens? Is it just the texture?

A flaw? Did you know I'm a vegetarian?
Green onions are fine. So are leeks and scallions. That's why I suspect its the texture.

It is interesting to me. I think about texture with food, but there are so few that raise even a little issue for me. I suppose I forget that it may have more weight in the perception of others.

No, those tears are from the evil onion, not sorrow.

I do like green onions in fried potatoes. They're way more mild on everything. Not as bad or as hideous.
I also like garlic (a lot), so I think it's just onions. And onions I do think are about the nastiest things ever.
I guess you guys will be in charge of desserts then. Cake is always good and no onions.
I know you meant that that was a flaw... I was just surprised you'd only caught one.
I am a person of many flaws.

Onions are the base of most savory foods. In most cases they are absorbed and have no texture of their own. They enhance other flavours, and can add sweetness and fullness to just about anything.

Peppers, like tomatoes, are from the New World. Please note not black pepper.Brahmins were not supposed to use 'Tamasic' food (food unsuitable for spirituality) like chilies
"In 2007, Guinness World Records certified that the ghost pepper was the world's hottest chili pepper, 170 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. The ghost chili is rated at more than one million Scoville Heat Units (SHUs). However, in the race to grow the hottest pepper, the ghost chili was superseded by the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pepper in 2011 and the Carolina Reaper in 2013."

I do have to admit that India and Southeast Asia perfected their usage.

You would probably be fine so long as you cooked them.
But I suppose the concern would be the knife and chopping board that you used contaminating other food that you didn't cook before eating, e.g salad ingredients.
I would have been interested to learn how fresh onions can become contaminated with salmonella, actually. It is not a bacterium one associates with fresh vegetables.

Actually I find I don't cook much with onions (though I did last night: lamb navarin). I use garlic about 4-5 days a week but onions only about once every one to two weeks, generally in stews of various sorts, or to make stock. So I suppose a bit more in winter than in summer.

Salmonella is associated with soil. Unwashed vegetables of all kinds can become contaminated. as can animal products and eggs from unhygienic conditions.

But then why do we practically never hear of it in connection with anything other than meat products?

Because meat eaters are wusses.

We hear about it a lot in salads. But rarely in cooked veg as it is extremely easy to kill in hot , not even boiling, water.
It dies at 150F or 66C but food must be cooked right through to that temperature.

It is a myth. Italians are not really into onion/garlic.Have you been lying about being Italian?
They have already
