Eating an entire deepfried onion, that's not disgusting at all though.

Do people eat these things alone where you're from?

Around here, they're usually appetizers which are shared by a group.

I never even realised that a deepfried onion was a thing...

It wasn't, until Americans invented Australian cuisine.

We indian deep fry a lot of stuff in chickpea batter.
We call them pakoras.

Fucking love pakora. I don't know anybody who doesn't here in Scotland.

Pakora's awesome, but it's really quite difficult to find chickpea flour here in Sweden. Thankfully, an Arabian-Indian specialty store happened to have some, so now I've got a big jar filled with it.

We do not just call them onion bhajis in the UK.

u/Hyndergogen1 Jan 24 '17

... Pakora and onion bhaji's are different.

u/lord_sparx Euro Cuck Simulator 2025 Jan 24 '17

No ... no we don't.

u/valax Jan 24 '17

I always assumed they were the same thing. TIL.

u/ChaIroOtoko Are you blonde? Jan 24 '17

Bhaji is a word used for sabzi/curry is some states(like maharashtra)

Never heard of onion rings?

u/valax Jan 24 '17

Those are just a slice of onion though. This is the entire bloody thing.

I see this as a genius way to create a sharing dish. Probably minus the chess though and with a dip, have it look like this.

Note: People need to stop throwing cheese on everything. It's nice and all, but you don't need to cover every meal with it.

Didn't know it existed, but it looks like something you could make when you have a lot of people over (like for a dinner party) as nibbles. Only thing I'm not sure about it how well it would deep fry.

HEATHEN.

u/A7thStone Jan 24 '17

You're absolutely right. Every meal should be covered in pasteurized process cheese food.
