  I do like Fried onions.

   

  Good footage and as you say, a catchy tune. Goes back to Napoleonic France if not earlier.

  My Fellows, I can't let this post pass... "sans y mettre mon grain de sel" (without giving it my two cents).

  Personnaly, I like to mix "spicy" or very tasty onions with milder varieties, such as the "oignon des Cévennes" (light pink one, very soft and juicy). Such a mix is a very good base on a home-made pizza or "quiche" (like the Alsatian flammenküche).

  With good local products, it's much better, "mon adjudant"!
