Don’t get high on your own supply? 🤷
Guys i don’t say that I want to eat it but i am saying that i also yearn to eat this thing
On the most shallow and vague level, me too. I wouldn’t say it looks inviting, but maybe compelling somehow. I also unironically like brutalist architecture, so this feels like its cousin.
I am reasonably certain any yearning would fade mid-way through my first bite, tho, as gigantic armies of raw onion just route and slay whatever other piddling forces of flavor they can find. Cheese? Bread? Erased, never heard of em.
I’ve seen half this much onion just eviscerate more composed, varied, and coordinated forces than these, just by sheer ignorant, naked, might.
Not for you?!
You would never have been able to afford to eat this during rationing, that’s an entire family’s cheese allowance for a week.
9/10 for ingredients
2/10 for prep/cooking
Cut that onion in half to make 2 disks, then quarter those, add just enough water to steam, cover and cook until soft or the water steams away, add butter and sautee until the onions are medium brown. Cube the cheese and add to the onions, stir until melted, add a pinch of flour, maybe a crushed and minced clove of garlic and cook for another minute, salt and pepper to taste. Butter and toast the inside of the roll spread the cheese and onion mixture.
Consider taking an antacid if you can’t handle garlic and onion.
if you can’t handle garlic and onion.
At that point I’d consider violating the terms of service.
True, if you already had half an onion on bread, you probably understood the assignment. Arguably, you might break up more of the cell walls in the prep work, but the cooking probably would have tamed it all a bit.
Come on now, OP. What ever other criticism you may level at that sandwich, you can’t say that cheese and raw onion is lacking in flavour.
You do have a point. It certainly would make the eyes water. Really great to eat before a date so she knows you take gourmet food seriously.
The Americans are not going to like what I am about to say: Beans on Toast is a great meal.
It actually doesn’t sound half bad, but for breakfast? I couldn’t.
Beans, toast, wilted spinach, fried tomato, sauteed mushrooms and onion, all sprinkled with thyme and served with a big cup of coffee.
Not something I’d eat every day, but if I’m doing stage setup for a festival with back to back shifts? That brekkie will keep you going a good 10 hours.
It’s more of a lunch thing.
Brooo beans on garlic bread, damn that would be bangin!
I don’t even like beans, but if I did this sounds like a way better texture than just beans by themselves. I don’t understand why people who enjoy them act like putting it on toast is weird.
TBH, onion sandwich is delicious. Never tried with cheese tho
(Just sliced onion and a lil bit of oil (I use soy oil because it’s what we use, and it’s cheap here, but I guess olive oil may work) in a baguette. You can add a pinch of salt or pepper if you want)
TBH, cheese sandwich is delicious. Never tried with onion tho
TBH, cheese and onions are delicious, Never tried as a sandwich tho.
TBH, tried never tho sandwich, delicious a and cheese onion are as.
Are you OK friend?
A Hawaiian corset tests hundreds; indie hero icon hence absolved.
You two should get together.
Try lightly toasting the sandwich too.
Did you miss the part where Churchill is dead?!
He’s burning in hell. I’m savoring a delicious onion sandwich in celebration. What could be better?
A hint of brown mustard?
American here. Why is Churchill burning in hell? He lead your country through WWII and D-Day.
…wait. Are you a nazi supporter?
He did do that, but was also big racist. Not nearly as motivated as Hitler, but similar viewpoints.
Also helped create the UN, welfare state and a minimum wage.
Probably referencing this, and similar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943
Churchill had little to do with it, other than not having enough shipping and having to prioritise feeding troops who were fighting Nazis at the time.
Also from your link…
The provincial government never formally declared a state of famine, and its humanitarian aid was ineffective through the worst months of the crisis. It attempted to fix the price of rice paddy through price controls which resulted in a black market which encouraged sellers to withhold stocks, leading to hyperinflation from speculation and hoarding after controls were abandoned. Aid increased significantly when the British Indian Army took control of funding in October 1943
Any explanation for this one?

Oh, are we gonna get into a pissing contest about which system of government has killed more people?
other than not having enough shipping and having to prioritise feeding troops
That is a choice he made, not something that just happened, and it resulted in at least a million (likely many more) civilian deaths in their own territory.
The provincial government
Gee, I wonder who put the provincial government in charge in a British colony? 🙄
And why did he make that choice?
Just to clarify, I’m not British.
But what @I_Fart_Glitter said.
Google Churchill and Bengal famine.
Lots to choose from, but this is usually the one I like to point to:

You should try a Hemingway sandwich. It’s peanut butter and a slice of onion on bread. It is surprisingly delicious, savory, sweet, nutty…
Is it healthy? No.
But does it taste good? Also no.
I don’t know onions are tasty, cheese is tasty, I don’t see how this isn’t tasty.
I would eat that. Who doesn’t like cheese or onions?
If you have the opportunity, consider Limburger with onion on a nice rye bread
I like cheese ,onions and bread. But I’m not in to eating an onion sliced like that, it’s insane .
I think you meant to say it’s delicious
OK, its delicious, I love to take a bite of onion like it’s an apple and it tastes great!
Just don’t forget to also take a big bite of cheese and bread! They all can be eaten as apples, just at the same time.
is everything apples?
I have eaten cheese like an apple
I actually ate an onion like an apple just the other day. It reminded me a lot of raw radish actually.
I can mow down a whole bowl of radishes
Maybe some yellow onion is in your future.
(I’m not a huge radish guy so maybe there are nuances that would make you like one and not the other, but to me they seemed similar)
Just gotta grill that shit and everyone will be drooling for it
I would assume that the texture of the onion is part of the appeal. So if you grill it you’ve got to either toast the bread or add a few chips to get that crunch.
If you toast it in an oven or grill it in a pan just slightly, the onion will still be crunchy and so will the bread. You’re not caramelizing the onions.
Cheese and onion is a pretty strong flavor.
Deliciously so.
Especially stinky cheeses like Limburger
Only an American would think a slab of cheddar would be tasteless.
Emphasis on the “slab”. I add a cheese slice to my sandwich and feel indulgent.
They are projecting their own “cheese products” unto the cheese of others.
We do in fact have cheese here
I like how you look at a picture of a dude eating a raw onion and a slab of cheese on a roll and think “fucking Americans.”
Yawn yawn yawn, get new material Lemmy.
And you think “brittish food bad and bland” is some kind of revolutionary humour here?
I didn’t make the joke. I think the sandwich looks awful no matter who’s eating it. I do not discriminate in my hate for awful sandwiches, I will dole it out accordingly.
But you did read the post, right? You understand what we’re talking about here, right?
I appreciate what you’re saying, but I wasn’t aware that commenting on a post suddenly made me adopt any and all of it’s opinions. But when I see folks turn a post about a cheese and onion sandwich into an America bad jerkfest, I just felt compelled to point out how stupid that is, in spite of the fact that I probably agree with them.
Turning every tech post into Linux praise and every anything post into America bad does not create a healthy, entertaining community. It’s boring and repetitive. You understand that. Right?
You know what doesn’t create a healthy and entertaining community? Whiny, defensive Americans playing victim.
What in the original post has anything to do with America? Do you think it’s good to just go comment unrelated shit all over the place? Nothing says anything relating to America at all, and yet, no surprise, someone makes it about America somehow. How does that not bother you? We’re in shitpost for fucks sake.
It’s actually a tradition in between Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin to have onion and cheese sandwiches, Limburger cheese is made in Monroe and is quite possibly the best pairing to raw onions, so I wholeheartedly believe it’s now almost entirely exclusive to the American pallete nowadays, and this post is the anomaly.
Well that’s weird, but you Midwesterners are weird to me, so it makes sense!
I always liked to joke that, like, west of Wisconsin and Minnesota is the Midwest, and then Montana and Nevada are the West, and that Illinois and Indiana are the Mideast. It’s not a good joke.
My not-a-good joke that I’ll say anyway is, when someone asks my age, I’ll say something obviously too young, like 25. They’ll smirk or roll their eyes, and I’ll continue, “I am twenty-five years old, but I’m also sixty.”
No one has ever laughed. And, that’s why I keep saying it. Someday, someone will laugh, I just know it!
I like the joke, and maybe I’ll steal it in 20 years or so.
I see the mixed and polarized reactions in the comments and I think that makes the OP a good shitpost.
This is totally me:
As a brit, this actually looks pretty tasty!
You people are broken.
It looks rank, mate. And I enjoy Haggis.
A good bun. A tasty onion. Flavourful cheese. What’s not to like? If it was an American factory bread-like bun with American Cheese, the onion might still make it edible.
