Seriously, an onion is all you need to spice up a meal. No herbs or fancy stuff, stick an onion into your food as part of your 5/10/15 or whatever it is these now per day. BBC good food guide on the benefits onions.

I only mentioned herbs because they are a no brainer with exceptionally low effort.

Gives wife crippling stomach cramps.

So I'll pass.

I find the texture generally unpleasant, unless it's crispy onions (and I mean actual crispy onions, not slightly burnt but still slimy onions), and I'll assume the process of deep frying the fuck out of them and putting them on a burger nullifies any health benefits.

Obviously if a food gives you a reaction then don't eat it.

I am in exactly the same boat. I cannot eat onions unless they are finely cut. Onions that are finely cut give out more flavour anyways. It is all about learning how to cut an onions finely and quickly. This is similar to how I do it. I do downward cuts to the centre of the onion. I never do the horizontal cuts that I have seen a lot do. To me that is just asking for trouble. I also cut my slices very finely. I like the bit of leaving the end on the onion. That is a new one to me.
