Choose between wine or the onion/garlic family

When I first read this, I thought it was an onion vs. garlic debate…

Since getting together with my wife (20 years ago), I have drastically cut down my use of onions and garlic (with the levels I used to consume, it’s amazing we ever got together in the first place). So, I am tempted to say I could cut down further and stay with wine.

Thankfully, this choice is unlikely to occur in real life!

You all are crazy!

Is there a Vegetable Berserkers forum? I’m out. Especially if it involves cooking.

I’ll drink alone!

Came here to ask about Onionberserkers. I did have a 100 Suckling point Brussel Sprout yesterday.

Given the responses so far, it looks like @ToddFrench needs to rename this site Allium Berserkers :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Honestly surprised at the onion adherents! Not a hard choice for me at all and I LOVE onions etc. But oh my goodness no wine? I read books about wine, not about onions. It’s so much more than a beverage but you onion heads are making me think about it.

Too easy

There is a current / flex on WBers where people like to proclaim all the ways they don’t want wine.

Not without food. Not alone. Not with [insert most of the world’s cuisine]. Not with cheese. Not with chocolate. Not when it’s hot out. Not when it’s humid. Not in January. Not at [long list of social occasion types]. Not after wines are in transit.

So these “dude dorm hallway late night hypotheticals” fit perfectly with that. What if you had to choose between wine and movies? Wine and football? Wine and pasta?

I’d keep the alliums. I do most of the cooking in my house. At one point my wife was doing an elimination diet and I had to cook without alliums for a month. It suuuuuuuuucked.

@Mark_Golodetz I will gladly trade my alliums for your wine. I will even comb the local woodlands to source wild ramps. Pickled, caramelized, raw, grilled, roasted…in mignonette with freshly shucked oysters, as a chutney…I even have a friend who makes a delicious ramp pesto. Deal?

Knowing you, you would buy the next ten years of Vidalia onion production in an effort to make it fair.

Nice. I was trying for Mulberry Street but came up empty.

Fair enough, but I would keep the alliums and drink Heater Allen and Negronis/Margaritas. :onion::beers:

Wine, but when I turn about 75 y/o and likely not drinking wine anymore.

I will give you $1 if you make a Margagroni and report back.
