I dislike red onions.  I will eat them in a sandwich (maybe), and if they are grilled and in something delicious, but I will not eat them in a salad.  I forgot to order my salad today "no onions."  The only thing worse then the taste of onions contaminating the whole delicious salad is the smell of them all day in my desk garbage.  I threw most all of them in the break room trash. But the couple that escaped my initial scrutiny went into the garbage at my feet.  Now, I can't escape them.  I won't even tell you what I think red onions smell like. :/ Geeh.
