Onions are a strong force in the food world, especially raw. Everyone can deal with some sauteed or grilled onions. You strip away the bite when you do that. Sometimes that's necessary. You can't always tackle the full intensity of the onion. What kind of vegetable makes people cry? That alone should tell you that the raw onion is not a thing to mess with. I've spent many nights sobbing while cooking. I've also spent some of those nights sobbing because of the onion. The other nights were due to other things...
I'm also one who likes crunch peanut butter, but not an onion crunch. That's just disturbing. It would feel like you were eating a bunch of rotten peanuts in your sandwich. I'm trying to find some good in this, but I just can't.
