Looks like a fart to me. LOL View attachment 118725

Well I expect eating a bunch of onions might have that effect on most people.

 

[CookieMonster]

a German (an other) cold dish - "cucumber salad" aka Guerkel Salad.
keeping in mind Guerkel is the name for both cucumbers and pickles . . .

thin slices of cucumber - salt&drain if they'll be 'around' for more than immediate consumption

thin slices of onion

marinated in olive oil, vinegar - caraway/celery seed

Are you going to post a recipe and enter it in the challenge?

 

[CookieMonster]

I have no recipe - it's a photo recipe I suppose - it's just that simple.
here's my oil&vinegar recipe:

I completely understand, as I have a lot of things I make that I don't follow a recipe for. But if you are entering the challenge you have to write up a recipe and post it, then post a link in this recipe challenge thread or it won't count as an entry. See below:

Welcome to the CookingBites recipe challenge. The current challenge ingredient is onions (any type)** and Morning Glory is our judge. To enter, all you need to do is post a recipe* which uses onions, tag it cookingbites recipe challenge, and post a link to it in this thread. The winner becomes the judge for the next challenge. You may post up to 6 entries. Deadline: midnight, end of day Friday, 11th October UK time (GMT+1). Detailed challenge rules can be found here.

* recipes must be posted within the time frame of the challenge but could be recipes you have made in the past, so long as they haven't already been posted on the forum as a recipe thread.
** includes spring onions (scallions), shallots, dried onion, onion powder and onion seeds. Nigella aka as kalonji are not actually onion seeds but are included here.

I was just double checking! I would hate for anyone to think they entered and find out that they didn't.

That looks a lot like my vinegar & oil recipe.

To start things off I offer the results of today's pantry search to create a loaded onion soup. It is loaded with potatoes and cream. Click here.

Number two will have to wait for Wednesday supermarket shopping but will be a stuffed onion main dish.

For one of my entries:

Don’t have a bad flashback with that, karadekoolaid.

That takes care of the and the in one shot, leaving just the and .

 

[blades]

Ooh! Beer and onions. I'll be watching.

And pork, don’t forget the pork. This is going to be a very German challenge for me.

It is sounding better all the time. I was thinking about using pork tenderloin in my stuffed onions. That or bacon.

 

[karadekoolaid]

Don’t have a bad flashback with that, @karadekoolaid.

I only had a mouthful. The rest went down the toilet.

OK
Onions

Sliced and in a jar with 2% salt (based on onion weight)

recipe: pickled onions (lacto fermented)

Now we wait for about a week and then I should have lacto fermented onions

(I'm just waiting to see if enough liquid gets out of the onions to submerge them.
If not, I'll add some water & salt. They will still get a weight on top)
