Depends on in what way you mean- all purpose, or just tastiest? I'm
with Om on her choices...

I would have to agree - on the basis that what other vegetable can suit
so many recipes?

There's really two different categories: Vegetables for cooking, and
vegetables for eating.

Onion for cooking, and corn or home-grown tomatoes for eating. (Queue

You do not eat onions cooked as onions? Stuffed baked ones, boiled with
cream, sweet and sour ones, fried ones, roasted ones or raw onion and mayo
sandwiches?

You are truly an idiot. All vegetables are eaten cooked or raw,
onions especially... there are tons of onion salad recipes... raw
onions are a common condiment... you probably have never eaten a bowl
of chili or even a chili dawg... and you never even heard of salsa.
There's cuke n' onion salad, orange n' onion salad, even raw onions in
tuna salad... and I won't even mention all the ways green onions are
eaten raw. My favorite way to eat raw onion is a big slab on a
burger... no burgers in TX either?

And there are many ways folks eat cooked onion on their own, from
rings to bloomin', to caramelized, to caramelized in chicken
schmaltz... and of course myriad pickled onions.

As a flavoring ingredient in recipes garlic trumps onion.

I don't think there is any single vegetable that can be crowned
king... but if I had to choose it would be the potato. Of course most
of the planet would choose rice. I think the king of vegetables in
Texas would be Coors.

Onions go with virtually anything.

The potato obviously, followed by Lima beans, carrots, peas, Brussels
Sprouts in that order!

Now, Sheldon. Coors is what-rice? And Coors light is nothing more than mere
beer-flavored water.

The king of veggies would have to be the tomato-red, yellow, orange,
green-all of the above-what? Versatile and goes with almost
anything-especially raw.

Although I do treasure those few years where the Vidalia is so good I can
eat it as and apple-yummy.

Don't be dissin' the silver bullet. Whenever I drink it hoardes of scantily
clad babes pour out of the woodwork. YMMV.

Should have said 'months' not years.

Nope. I've never stuffed an onion. Could you point me to a simple
one to start with? Don't like the little ones that are often served
with thanksgiving dinner here in the US, and not familiar with sweet
and sour. Will add them to sandwiches and salads, cut up. And
caramelized as often as I have the time<g>.

The easiest recipe is to parboil biggish onions, then remove the centers.
Chop that core up and add it to a favorite stuffing receipe just like you'd
use for a chicken. Arrange the onion shells in a flat baking dish that is
well oiled. Stuff the stuffing in the onions. Toss any extra around the
onions. Use either vegetable broth or white wine on the bottom of the dish
and bake at about 325 for 30-45 minutes. You can also sprinkle with grated
hard cheese, or chopped nuts or minced herbs. There's no rule. Except for
very high temps, the temp can be that of some other food you are roasting
and you just adjust the time.

In that instance, I'd vote garlic.
