Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Green onions. Have you seen those? You usually find them bundled together in your produce department. If you plant an onion, you get a sprout with green leaves like long slender tubes coming off of a white base part. This is a green onion, otherwise known as a scallion. Usually they are grown from little tiny onion bulbs so they make a long slender plant. Usually they are fairly mild and you sometimes see the green parts chopped and used as a flavorfull garnish, a bit like chives. They can also be used like onions in many recipies.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 JC, they are those green things that come on your baked taters at restaurants. Kris explained them very well. They are like big chives or small leeks. They usually are 2 or 3 bundles for a $1. >Kris <kristc99 > > >Re: Scallions, was Another beautiful day. >Sat, 5 Oct 2002 07:13:23 -0700 (PDT) > >Green onions. Have you seen those?

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 Actually, SHALLOTS, are very small onions that most chefs use instead of regular onions for the most part. They are a miniature white onion with a hint of red on them. However, you may be right about the terming in different regions.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 Hi MatriXeno and Kris, I am new to the list and generally Iurk for a while and then give my opinion. I thought the same thing about scallions. The grocery store I shop at has green onions and scallions. Green onions are what you two have described. I thought green onions and scallions were the same, just called different depending on which part of the country you are from. Scallions are very small onions. They are bagged about 5 to a bag and very expensive. The grocery store does not carry them all the time. I use green onions when the recipe calls for scallions. My family and I are new vegetarians. We still eat eggs, cheese and milk. I am eager to learn as much as I can to fix a balanced meal. Hicando - MatriXeno . Saturday, October 05, 2002 4:10 PM Re: Scallions, was Another beautiful day.
