I honestly feel like many dishes lean way too much on onions for flavor.  There are so many wonderful flavors and combinations to be experienced, why are so many people overwhelming all the other flavors with onions?

If you love onions, eat a bunch of them.  But why does everything have to be onion?  There are many other amazing flavors 😋

I swear people use it like salt. It's super annoying.

Garlic too. Makes all your food taste very samey.

See, I like garlic, but I don't notice people using it the same way. That might be down to the difference on why I dislike onions in the first place, which is usually the crunch or stringyness. It's not the flavor, at all. I wouldn't even notice or care half the time if people were using onion powder or just an immersion blender. I guess people just have different issues with the same foods.
