Also, onion is basically a spice also.  Have you ever had an onion-based side dish?  No.

No, no one has ever eaten onion rings, bloomin' onions, or roasted up some onions and peppers to go along with their sausages.  Also, no one cooks up those little pearl onions and serves them as a side-dish with a little butter.

Onions are a main course, a side dish, and even a fuck*ng dessert. They are so good I'd eat them even if they weren't good for me (and I really have no idea how good for you onions or green bell peppers are, but I eat them at least once a week, and there are few dishes that one can make in the Continental style to which I've grown accustomed that don't include onions.  I must, of course, not use garlic very often, due to being a participant in society, but you can cook the stink out of onions, and they are delicious and add much body and flavour to many sauces and dishes.

This has been a very educational thread.  I now understand why so very many dishes cooked by other people are ruined by the addition of so many damn nasty carrots.

Onion rings!  Of course! Foiled again.  However, bloomin' onions are just a modified onion ring, and I wouldn't consider the peppers and onions with sausages a side dish, I'd call them a seasoning - delicious as it might be.  Don't get me wrong, I love onions in all their forms and preparations, it's just that for some reason, I don't consider them to really be a "vegetable."  Also, eating garlic does not preclude you from entering society - I go through a head or two of garlic a week most weeks, and if society needs me, a corresponding quantity of mints, gum, or toothpaste.

The garlic smell actually comes out through your skin if you eat a lot of it.  Yes, there's soap, but the next time you sweat - more garlic!

But of course your SO is a member here, so I'm sure she can attest to your stinkiness or otherwise.

Also, my favourite veggie side dish is sauteed onions and peppers.  A little salt and pepper. Heaven.

Also, a tasty side dish is creamed onion, and also I have had a tasty onion pie, and of course the delicious French onion soup is also a wonder of foodiness.  And also do not forget green onions, which my SO enjoys unaccompanied straight from the garden.

I have to go with Brussels Sprouts, but only because I'm on the side that doesn't include onions as acceptable for this discussion.

I have to say that we do eat garlic, but neither of us stink. Alex certainly doesn't. And we have friends who keep us entertained during the weeks and weekends who have never once mentioned a garlicky smell when around us.

Best vegetables = carrots (uncooked), cucumbers, snow peas, corn, squash of any kind, and, in agreeing with Jough, onions and peppers -YUM!

Steamed carrots are my restaurant side-dish of choice. Oh sure, the garlic mashed potatoes are good but they should really be called "garlic butter and cream (processed in a kitchen that uses potatoes)". Now brocoli is not even a food, it's merely a space consuming packing material the for some reason the FDA refuses to ban from chinese take-out.

See, now this is exactly what I thought carrots were.  I had no idea some people actually ate them, like, on purpose.

Yes.  Onion Rings.

I once ate some, entirely on accident!

But Pebbles is nutritious AND delicious!*

I actually have grown-up ones, like with molybdenum. Pebbles definitely tasted better.

Really that just needed to be quoted again.  I am sorry about this.

[AugustWest]

Eatin' Pebbles?  Ain't that what BamBam does?
