I remember those. If I recollect correctly, I even tried to cook one. It was probably a disaster.

I love this idea - but is 10 minutes enough to cook that onion through?

In a preheated fan oven at 200 ten minutes seems to be ideal to keep the onion firm and slightly sharp to compliment the cranberry, but agree that a longer time is better for a softer sweeter onion. I tend to prefer the sharper taste though.Also, it helps if you have a sharp serrated steak knife to cut into the cooked onion to prevent the Brie squashing out too much.

Which reminds me, a ploughman's lunch without pickled onions wouldn't be right.

It does look a little weather beaten.

Where I now live a traditional Sunday night tea was a tin of salmon with a salad of onions and cucumber in vinegar.

Mexican version is red onions thinly sliced, salt and fresh lime juice.

Well that is pretty much what I do. Sometimes lemon juice, depending on what's to hand or even vinegar. I sometimes add cumin seeds.
