Haz no taste buds

Sorry you're sick and no taste buds, Corkey.

Onions ....we have green onions, maui onions, red onions, which I only like in salads, cold, not cooked. white onions, brown onions, and pearl onions. I confess I have never had shallots and I am curious. are they good? what do they taste like?

Today was my mom's birthday, and it was sad for me looking at some of those recipes with her own hand-writing. sigh ...... I missed her a lot today. She was the best cook ever. One time she had a party for her friends, house warming, and she made so many appetizers, everyone was full and couldn't eat the dinner. lol

I agree, Dante. I have been finding recipes written by mom, or Women's Weekly magazines where she has marked an article and then made a comment. She would then pass them on to me, so I would see each word of wisdom she thought I should know. Fondly I feel close to her at these times. Thanks for reminding me..........

Iz afeared I really can't describe a shallot, but I can eat them and not the others without pills. Go figure. They are probably not as strong in their chemical make up, which goes better with mah system. Back to bed, parental carbon units for lunch tomorrow, today, oy'

I like shallots, do you mean the green ones? I'm not sure if that you call shallots and what we call shallots is the same thing - they look like these:

They taste a bit less intense than onion. If you've had chives or leeks, they are kind of like that. Oniony but planty as well (those are technical terms, by the way) - lol

Happy birthday to your Mom. I'm like that with my Grandma's recipes. They are so special because they are in her handwriting. Hugs to you - I miss my Grandma too.

Shallots, to me, are a different thing. Here is a link to what I understand as shallots: http://www.realsimple.com/food-recip...363/index.html . They are kind of a mix between onions and garlic, and are very good.

I just saw a recipe for caramelized shallots on a website, that I am looking forwards to trying out soon. I shan't give out the recipe yet, as I haven't tried it out. Besides, it is someone else's recipe, and she has her own website, so that wouldn't be fair to her.

Oh, they look just like little onions!
Funny how things differ between regions and countries.

We don't say cilantro at all here, it's just coriander. Fresh coriander / coriander leaves, otherwise just coriander if it's the dried, ground seeds. I like the idea of calling it cilantro as it eliminates any doubt. I bet it's caused a lot of confusion when Americans have come across a recipe from Australia (or England, I think)
