Onion
The onion ("Allium cepa" L., from Latin "cepa" "onion"), also known as the bulb onion or common onion, is a vegetable that is the most widely cultivated species of the genus "Allium". Its close relatives include the garlic, shallot, leek, chive, and Chinese onion. This genus also contains several other species variously referred to as onions and cultivated for food, such as the Japanese bunching onion ("Allium fistulosum"), the tree onion ("A." ×"proliferum"), and the Canada onion ("Allium canadense"). The name "wild onion" is applied to a number of "Allium" species, but "A. cepa" is exclusively known from cultivation.
Garlic
Garlic (scientific name Allium sativum) is a species in the onion genus, "Allium". Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chive, and "Chinese onion". Garlic is native to Central Asia and northeastern Iran, and has long been a common seasoning worldwide, with a history of several thousand years of human consumption and use. It was known to Ancient Egyptians, and has been used both as a food flavoring and as a traditional medicine. "Allium sativum" is a bulbous plant. It grows up to 1.2 m (4 ft) in height. Its hardiness is USDA Zone 8. It produces hermaphrodite flowers. It is pollinated by bees and other insects.
Shallot
The shallot is a type of onion, specifically a botanical variety of the species "Allium cepa". The shallot was formerly classified as a separate species, "A. ascalonicum", a name now considered a synonym of the currently accepted name. Its close relatives include the garlic, leek, chive, and Chinese onion. Shallots probably originated in Central or Southwest Asia, travelling from there to India and the eastern Mediterranean. The name "shallot" comes from Ashkelon, an ancient Canaanite city, where people in classical Greek times believed shallots originated. Indian names for shallots include "kaanda" or "gandana" or "pyaaz" (Hindi, Marathi, Marwari and Punjabi), "gundhun" (Bengali), "cheriya ulli" or "chuvanna ulli" (Malayalam), ଉଲ୍ଲି ପିଆଜ (ulli piaja in Odia), "chinna ullipayi" (Telugu) and "chinna vengayam" (or "sambar vengayam" in the Chennai region) (Tamil).
International availability of McDonald's products
McDonald's Corporation () is the world's largest chain of fast food restaurants, serving around 68 million customers daily in 119 countries. McDonald's traces its origins to a 1940 restaurant in San Bernardino, California. After expanding within the United States, McDonald's became an international corporation in 1967, when it opened a location in Richmond, Canada. By the end of the 1970s, McDonald's restaurants existed in five of the Earth's seven continents; an African location came in 1992 in Cape Town,South Africa. In order to cater to local tastes and culinary traditions, and often in respect of particular laws or religious beliefs, McDonald's offers regionalized versions of its menu among and within different countries.
Curry
Curry (, plural curries) is an umbrella term referring to a number of dishes originating in the cuisine of the Indian subcontinent. The common feature is the use of complex combinations of spices or herbs, usually including fresh or dried hot chillies. The use of the term is generally limited to dishes prepared in a sauce. Curry dishes prepared in the southern states of India may be spiced with leaves from the curry tree. There are many varieties of dishes called 'curries'. For example, in original traditional cuisines, the precise selection of spices for each dish is a matter of national or regional cultural tradition, religious practice, and, to some extent, family preference.
Hamburger
A hamburger, beefburger or burger is a sandwich consisting of one or more cooked patties of ground meat, usually beef, placed inside a sliced bread roll or bun. The patty may be pan fried, barbecued, or flame broiled. Hamburgers are often served with cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon, onion, pickles, or chiles; condiments such as mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, or "special sauce"; and are frequently placed on sesame seed buns. A hamburger topped with cheese is called a cheeseburger. The term "burger" can also be applied to the meat patty on its own, especially in the UK where the term "patty" is rarely used, or the term can even refer simply to ground beef.
Allium
Allium is a genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants that includes hundreds of species, including the cultivated onion, garlic, scallion, shallot, leek, and chives. The generic name "Allium" is the Latin word for garlic, and the type species for the genus is "Allium sativum" which means "cultivated garlic". Linnaeus first described the genus "Allium" in 1753. Some sources refer to Greek αλεω (aleo, to avoid) by reason of the smell of garlic. Various "Allium" have been cultivated from the earliest times, and about a dozen species are economically important as crops, or garden vegetables, and an increasing number of species are important as ornamental plants.

Scallion
Scallions ( green onion, spring onion and salad onion) are vegetables of various "Allium" onion species. Scallions have a milder taste than most onions. Their close relatives include the garlic, shallot, leek, chive, and Chinese onion. Although the bulbs of many "Allium" species are used as food, the defining characteristic of scallion species is that they lack a fully developed bulb. In common with all "Allium" species, scallions have hollow, tubular green leaves, growing directly from the bulb. These leaves are used as a vegetable; they are eaten either raw or cooked. The leaves are often chopped into other dishes, in the manner of onions or garlic.
Ornamental bulbous plant
Ornamental bulbous plants, often called ornamental bulbs or just bulbs in gardening and horticulture, are herbaceous perennials grown for ornamental purposes, which have underground or near ground storage organs. Botanists distinguish between true bulbs, corms, rhizomes, tubers and tuberous roots, any of which may be termed "bulbs" in horticulture. Bulb species usually lose their upper parts during adverse conditions such as summer drought and heat or winter cold. The bulb's storage organs contain moisture and nutrients that are used to survive these adverse conditions in a dormant state. When conditions become favourable the reserves sustain a new growth cycle.
Allium tricoccum
Allium tricoccum (commonly known as ramp, ramps, spring onion, ramson, wild leek, wood leek, and wild garlic) is a North American species of wild onion widespread across eastern Canada and the eastern United States. Many of the English names are also used for other "Allium" species, particularly the similar "Allium ursinum" which is native to Europe and Asia. "Allium tricoccum" is a bulb-forming perennial with broad, smooth, light green leaves, often with deep purple or burgundy tints on the lower stems, and a scallion-like stalk and bulb. Both the white lower leaf stalks and the broad green leaves are edible.
Taxonomy of Allium
The precise taxonomy of the genus "Allium" is still poorly understood with incorrect descriptions being widespread. With over 850 species distributed over the Northern hemisphere "Allium" is the sole genus in the Allieae, one of four tribes of subfamily Allioideae (Amaryllidaceae). New species continue to be described and "Allium" is both highly variable and one of the largest monocotyledonous genera, but the precise taxonomy of "Allium" is poorly understood, with incorrect descriptions being widespread. The difficulties arise from the fact that the genus displays considerable polymorphism and has adapted to a wide variety of habitats.

Thats interesting. What part of the plant is the actual onion?
0_Wizard
A regular onion is a bulb, so it would be the actual part. Scallion onions don't have a full bulb though
Although the bulbs of many "Allium" species are used as food, the defining characteristic of scallion species is that they lack a fully developed bulb.

Allium fistulosum
Allium fistulosum, the Welsh onion, also commonly called bunching onion, long green onion, Japanese bunching onion, scallion, and spring onion, is a species of perennial plant. The species is very similar in taste and odor to the related common onion, "Allium cepa", and hybrids between the two (tree onions) exist. "A. fistulosum", however, does not develop bulbs, and possesses hollow leaves ("fistulosum" means "hollow") and scapes. Larger varieties of the "A. fistulosum" resemble the leek, such as the Japanese "negi", whilst smaller varieties resemble chives. "A. fistulosum" can multiply by forming perennial evergreen clumps.

Tree onion
Tree onion, topsetting onions, walking onions, or Egyptian onions, Allium" × "proliferum, are similar to common onions ("A. cepa"), but with a cluster of bulblets where a normal onion would have flowers. Genomic evidence has conclusively shown that they are a hybrid of the common onion and the Welsh onion ("A. fistulosum"). However, some sources may still treat the tree onion as "A. cepa" var. "proliferum" or "A. cepa" Proliferum Group. Tree onion bulblets will sprout and grow while still on the original stalk. They may bend down under the weight of the new growth and take root some distance from the parent plant, giving rise to the name "walking onion."
List of VeggieTales characters
This is a list of characters that appear in the animated series VeggieTales. Bob the Tomato (introduced 1992) is usually the "straight man" in his partnership with Larry the Cucumber, as they introduce many of the stories at the beginning and wrap-up the Biblical lesson at the end of most of the shows. He also plays many character roles in the story segments, some of which are in contrast to his more mature persona, which Phil Vischer called "my inner Mr. Rogers". He first appeared in 1993 in Big Idea's first video, "Where's God When I'm S-Scared?". In it, he and Larry set the opening format which has largely become a "VeggieTales" standard, where a letter is read from a viewer by the duo on a kitchen counter (which serves as a sort of stage).
Incandescent light bulb
An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light with a wire filament heated to such a high temperature that it glows with visible light (incandescence). The filament, heated by passing an electric current through it, is protected from oxidation with a glass or fused quartz bulb that is filled with inert gas or evacuated. In a halogen lamp, filament evaporation is slowed by a chemical process that redeposits metal vapor onto the filament, extending its life. The light bulb is supplied with electric current by feed-through terminals or wires embedded in the glass.

Narcissus (plant)
Narcissus is a genus of predominantly spring perennial plants in the Amaryllidaceae (amaryllis) family. Various common names including daffodil, daffadowndilly, narcissus, and jonquil are used to describe all or some members of the genus. "Narcissus" has conspicuous flowers with six petal-like tepals surmounted by a cup- or trumpet-shaped corona. The flowers are generally white or yellow (also orange or pink in garden varieties), with either uniform or contrasting coloured tepals and corona. "Narcissus" were well known in ancient civilisation, both medicinally and botanically, but formally described by Linnaeus in his "Species Plantarum" (1753).
René Warcollier
René Warcollier (8 April 1881 – 23 May 1962) was a French chemical engineer and parapsychologist. He was a founder and president of the Institut Métapsychique International, and edited and wrote theoretical and experimental reports for its journal. Warcollier was born on 8 April 1881 at Omonville-la-Rouge in Paris. He obtained a degree in chemical engineering in 1903 from the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie. He patented several processes related to the synthetic production of precious stones, and invented special screens for movie projection. In parapsychology, Warcollier first served as treasurer of the Institut Métapsychique International (1929–1938), then editor of its journal, the "Revue Métapsychique", (1938–1940), and then as its president (1951–1962).
Israeli cuisine
The Israeli cuisine ( "ha-mitbach ha-yisra’eli") comprises local dishes by people native to Israel and dishes brought to Israel by Jews from the Diaspora. Since before the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, and particularly since the late 1970s, an Israeli Jewish fusion cuisine has developed. Israeli cuisine has adopted, and continues to adapt, elements of various styles of Jewish cuisine, particularly the Mizrahi, Sephardic and Ashkenazi styles of cooking. It incorporates many foods traditionally eaten in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, and foods such as falafel, hummus, msabbha, shakshouka, couscous, and za'atar are now widely popular in Israel.

Cordyline australis
Cordyline australis, commonly known as the cabbage tree, cabbage-palm or , is a widely branched monocot tree endemic to New Zealand. It grows up to tall with a stout trunk and sword-like leaves, which are clustered at the tips of the branches and can be up to long. With its tall, straight trunk and dense, rounded heads, "C. australis" is a characteristic feature of the New Zealand landscape. Its fruit is a favourite food source for the New Zealand pigeon and other native birds. It is common over a wide latitudinal range from the far north of the North Island at 34° 25'S to the south of the South Island at 46° 30'S.
