Onions are great. I love to eat them on my burgers.

Oh yes, Onions are the most widely cultivated species in their genus.

It's probably because they are so delicious that there's no competition. They go with so many foods as well.

Onions are related to Garlic, Shallot, Leeks, chives, and Chinese Onions.  I've never had a Chinese Onion, have you?

I have not. I wonder how they are different from regular onions.

I suppose we could ask Oliver Onions, the British writer of short stories and novels.  He might know.

That would be quite the culinary coincidence. What makes onions different from their relatives?

To begin with, the onion we know is delicious on hot dogs, a popular food in the United States.
