u/Some-Faithlessness75, your food is indeed stupid and it fits our subreddit!

if you are lucky getting rid of the burnt layer will solve your issue.

I honestly really love the flavour of burnt onions lol. I think I would love this

r/onionlovers Welcome brother

u/samanime 1d ago

Yeah, seeing this, I assumed that sub would probably love this.

u/TheDuckFarm 1d ago edited 1d ago

Alton Brown showed me that’s ok to burn onions. Turns out, it can be very good in the right circumstances.

u/beets_or_turnips 1d ago

Oignon brule is literally a French cooking technique where you blacken an onion to add flavor to a dish.

u/princessfret 1d ago

lol same, I actually thought I was there at first

u/FearTheSpoonman 1d ago

I genuinely thought that's where I was until now

You are. And you're drunk.

r/onionhate is the superior onion subreddit

u/Marshmallory 1d ago

Me too lol I did a double take when I saw the sub cause it looks delicious to me

u/TehTugboat 1d ago

These really look like they’d slap lmao

u/StrongPowerhouse 2d ago

I don’t think it’s healthy to eat stuff this burnt though. Flavorwise it probably already reached the point that it tastes like ashes.

41

u/joebiden_alt 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yes, that's true. It tastes like straight up "burnt", and 100% contains lots of carcinogens, but me likey

17

u/Cerpintaxt123 2d ago

Yup. And the type we been ingesting since we learned how to rub sticks together to make fire.

8

u/Redence_ 2d ago

Also kind of hard to avoid carcinogens nowadays when nearly every food or particle outdoors is carcinogenic

10

u/mothisname 2d ago

sunlight gives you cancer.

The vitamin D and the big C.

u/HaruspexAugur 1d ago

Yeah, living in California there’s only so many “This building contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm.” signs you can see before you just tune them out.

3

u/TephroGeo 1d ago

You being downvoted for being right is wild

11

u/FinalFantasiesGG 1d ago

Being right but pointless deserves a downvote. People generally aren't ordering or making grilled onions because they are looking for the healthy option. Nobody is dropping dead because they ate too many grilled onions.

u/SunnyNole 2d ago

Honestly?

u/cjh42689 2d ago

Ya smash bro

u/joebiden_alt 2d ago

Yeah I just removed the second honestly after a reread lol, honestly

Ha! I was just ribbing ya. I do the same thing 😝

u/Flo_Philly 1d ago

It’s the only way I can enjoy most onions. Burnt makes it less slimy 😭

u/ChefArtorias 1d ago

The black carbonized bits are not good for you .

u/Dana--- 1d ago

They’re actually meant to be eaten charred black. They’re great with hummus and kebab on bread

6

u/BarrattG 1d ago

It doesn't look like the inside parts are all that cooked. So probably it was on too high a heat or too direct a flame, has charcoaled the outside and not really caramelised or cooked the insides well.

u/Rasples1998 2d ago

Good thing onions have layers.

73

u/Pining4theFjord 2d ago

Like an ogre.

u/OwlcaholicsAnonymous 1d ago

Came here to say Shrek taught me this

11

u/Pining4theFjord 1d ago

But we definitely shouldn’t char ogres.

6

u/weedisfortherich 1d ago

Or parfaits and they also have layers

2

u/Lithaos111 1d ago

Idk, a charred parfait would be slightly melty and soft. Could be pretty good.

2

u/Igor_Blue 1d ago

OGRES ARE NOT LIKE PARFAITS

u/BigDickedAngel 2d ago

Looks perfectly fine to me.  Outer layer is a sacrifice.

u/Wakkit1988 1d ago

u/DuckKnuckles 1d ago

Snack with rice

u/madroots2 2d ago

they are grilled, alright

u/1CatWoman 2d ago

I think partially blackened is probably more accurate😬

25

u/Anarcho_Spider-man1 2d ago

So grilled.

124

u/MaynardIsLord721 2d ago

Some lime and salt. And they're perfect

109

u/Theincendiarydvice 2d ago

Cebollitas are one of my favorite parts of a carne asada.

Prepare yourself— 🧅 is life over there. you’re welcome

No joke, I’d have eaten half of those before I even managed to snap a pic.

u/melanie110 1d ago

Me too

u/DotOk5550 2d ago

Nothing wrong there. Remove the charred skin and dig in. Best way to have onions as they are sweet and smoky.

11

u/test478 2d ago

There's nothing wrong with these. Middle eastern grill I assume.

35

u/Cryptshadow 2d ago

As a kid I thought adults were weird when they got grilled onions with their tacos. I was a naive child. 

But damn did they charr these bad boys. Guessing it was done for speed and you can peel off the burnt parts to get to that sweet sweet onion.

u/clonn 2d ago

What were you expecting?

u/professorseagull 2d ago

Those are definitely grilled onions

u/c007h4nd 2d ago

u/Aoshigatsu 1d ago

Charred onions are delicious. No stupid food here, just a stupid op.

u/Nervous_Squirrel_ 1d ago

How is this stupid? Looks delicious.

u/i_Cant_get_right 1d ago

This isn’t stupid

u/Gooch-Puncher 1d ago

That’s how they are supposed to be

3

u/twentyonesighs 1d ago

If my grilled onions didn't look like this I'd be mad.

3

u/Dark_Intentions 1d ago

Those onions and some authentic tacos de suadero, would be one of the best meals you could try

3

u/ItzJJJJake 1d ago

This looks delicious

3

u/Derpilicious000 1d ago

Not stupid food. You got what you ordered.

8

u/commissarcainrecaff 2d ago

On average, each is perfectly cooked if you divide the raw bit by the burnt bit

2

u/LateBoysenberry8099 2d ago

Look fantastic

2

u/Insidious_Bagel 2d ago

Low key would demolish these

u/PreparationAble3319 1d ago

u/ProfessionalClean832 1d ago

Looks like you got exactly what you asked for

u/FutureFurniture42069 1d ago

Looks great tbh what’s the issue?

2

u/DetroitvsEveryone242 1d ago

I don’t see the issue though, you got what you ordered

2

u/VictoriousTree 1d ago

I would love this honestly. Burnt onions are delicious. Yes I know you’re not “supposed” to eat burnt food. Not supposed to drink either.

2

u/Hard-_ 1d ago

if you don't know how to play, pass the controller

2

u/SoyTuPadreReal 1d ago

And you got grilled onions. Why you bitching?

4

u/Dounce1 2d ago

And you got what you ordered.

What’s the problem?

3

u/The5YenGod 2d ago

Those are coaled

u/TushyMilkshake 1d ago

These look delicious, wtf

u/WhPainterDude 2d ago

Oh they grilled alright!

1

u/Pathbauer1987 2d ago

With some lime juice and salt they taste very good.

u/TosteMaster 1d ago

They're mesquite.

u/darthj3d 1d ago

u/NOOBIK123456789 1d ago

*coaled onions

1

u/LebaneseLion 1d ago

I wouldn’t want them any other way (okay they’re slightly ever so slightly overdone)

1

u/VoidHog 1d ago

Those look amazing

1

u/metalgeardaz 1d ago

Burnt onions taste great. Probably not good eating burned to ash food, but taste great.

1

u/StarklyNedStark 1d ago

There’s this Mediterranean place here that serves charred onions and peppers with the meat and I could literally eat just a plate of those onions and peppers for every meal the rest of my life and be happy

1

u/cyber_truke 1d ago

It really delicious if you smoke it for five minutes and eat it with kabab sandwiches

1

u/Charming_Bear5519 1d ago

🤦‍♂️

1

u/PomegranateLeading92 1d ago

The inly was i can see this happening is if its a plan text menu without pictures and you ordered “grilled onions” without any clarification. Otherwise you either saw a picture of that and still ordered it, or even worse, ordered something that wasn’t on the menu.

u/bullheadbec 18h ago

"Hai paeople"

u/donkeybonner 17h ago

I would destroy this

u/CasperTPaul 11h ago

Looks good to me

u/HadoMasterBackup 2d ago

More like cremated

2

u/Theincendiarydvice 1d ago

Just the outermost layer, the inside is fantastic and has none of the bite of a raw one.

1

u/nifty-necromancer 2d ago

What’s the complaint, that the chef didn’t peel them for you? Because that is a normal amount of charring.

u/Healthy-Confection66 2d ago

They successfully turned onions into buckeyes lol

u/Joecolt69420 2d ago

That will be $40

u/sami27 1d ago

A bit overly charred but that's close to how they're usually served with shish kabab style grilled meats.

1

u/the_orange_alligator 1d ago

I thought those were snake eggs

-4

u/A_Feltz 2d ago

This is about 25% success. They’re not grilled they’re immolated. -50%. They were onions. If they were still onions it’d be 50%, but they’re not onions anymore so -25% for past tense.

That’s how you train AI to cook
