I have always said that red onions are the most aesthetic onion. It is that iridescent red/purple that I love. It is also the best general purpose onion, and my second favorite after the shallot.

Honestly, he’s not wrong, but I’ll still eat the fuck out of them.

In Spanish, they are called purple onions! Though I learned English fairly young, Spanish was my first language. There are still things I think make so much more sense in Spanish that I forget to translate to their English counterparts when speaking English. Purple onions and drinking soup are two off the top of my head
