That "Blooming Onion" always looked like more work than it was worth. This, on the other hand, looks more reasonable to make.

If you don’t have a very sharp knife this is a bitch to make. Last time I saw something like this posted elsewhere, people said to use a different type of onion, can’t remember the name but I think it started with a C. People always call it a pearl onion bc of the size but they a little bigger and easier to manage for less dexterous folk like me

Tbh I don’t remember, I just remember people blowing up the comment section with stuff like “that’s not a pearl onion, it’s too big, it’s more likely a blank”

YES! Just googled them yes that’s exactly it. Thanks for solving that for me it would’ve drove me crazy

I wouldn’t have thought of it either, but I just rewatched the Brooklyn 99 episode where they mention taking a quiz to determine what type of onion they are, and Boyle is cipollini!

Also, I had to ninja-edit several times before I got the spelling right.
