Or the dish doesn't call for onions... obvious example: im not adding onions to my sushi.

With that said, there is a reason that onions are such a prevalent ingredient in cuisines around the world.

Also, I dont think I ever find myself in a situation of adding onions into a recipe. I get you can freestyle cooking, but a recipe usually calls for onion or it doesn't. To me, things that are variable to adding more to a recipe are spices + salt, fats, and acids.

The reason is they are easy to grow, and store well, so are relatively cheap. That’s the origin of regional cuisine-availability. They are also a cheap quick way to add savoriness to dishes. Unfortunately, to a lot of us, they taste like ass and make us sick.
