Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Diane I see those now and then and they are called Mexican onions in the two places I buy them. I like to grill them on the BBQ. I thought they were oversized green onions. Thanks so much for the link.

A spring onion (not just avail in spring) is an onion with a partially formed bulb. It is what will become a mature onion after it is picked and trimmed. Here are some pics: http://www.foodsubs .com/Onionsgreen .html Don't feel shy about questions like this. With international and regional names for things, everyone here has had occasion to ask similar questions I use this Cook's Thesaurus link all the time to look up things ppl mention here. I learn so much from this group and not just about food hth Peace Diane , " ih89252 " <ih89252 > wrote: > > > Forgive my ignorance.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I haven't tried them grilled; I bet they're great that way. I love them for french onion soup and just plain sliced on sandwiches or veg burgers. I'll have to try some on the grill soon Now I'm wondering if the Mexican grocery close to me will have them. And it's a pretty day for a walk I love that Cook's Thesaurus site - the pics are great.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I find them as low as 50 cents a bunch. Enjoy your walk.
