Precisely! Here in the UK, we are unable to have access to the Onion. This, and other ersatz solutions, are the best we can do. You may imagine the word 'Ersatz' inserted into that identifying slogan if you see fit.

My attempt at construction.

Still eating.

EDIT: De-australized images.

EDIT: Finished the "normal" parts, leaving the much less battered lumps of onion.

EDIT: im dying help

EDIT: Tapping out at 3/4 through. The remaining chunks were massive chunks of flavorless, mushy onion, and the radish makes even that sound tasty. Updated the album with result.

Lessons Learned:
- The ration of batter to onion, and the length of frying matter greatly. The solo petals were overcooked, making them thick shells of batter over wafer-thin onion slivers. The onion core, reconstructed bloom, and petal chunks all had much too little batter, making them just mushy onion. The spread out petals were cooked perfectly, and had a nice coating of batter. If I had just done the regular petals, and cooked them to the right time. I might have finished.
- Fried Radish is disgusting.

Depending on how guilty I feel for giving up, I may do a review of the punishment sauce later.

I found this recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/almost-famous-bloomin-onion-recipe which suggests not cutting the whole way through the onion as Rhumbus did, but only most of the way down. I like the concept of dipping the onion in egg, then putting it on a plate with a lot of flour, covering it with a bowl and shaking it until it's covered, rinse repeat. My LDL cholesterol is over 400 just from reading the recipe unfortunately.

I didn't cut all the way through, it tore under its own weight. You need to cut enough that the petals seperate, but not too much.

I have eaten the onion from the palace of the kangaroo. Here is my screenshot let's play of it. Unfortunately the thing with steak and crap on top of the onion is not a carryout option at my local Outback.

It begins. I did this at home because even I can not bare the shame of this inside a restaurant.

The first few bites. It's tasty!

Half way. Why am I doing this? Must proceed for the Goons!

Are the heart palpitations normal?

DONE! Now I am going to take a shower because I feel dirty.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
drat, that's going to be hard to top. I'll have to eat mine in-store, and hopefully they'll offer the three point version. Birthday candles maybe?

I'm disappointed that no one has gone for the true three point onion. The menu is very clear about what the three points are:



The points are:
  1. A Bloomin' Onion
  2. Cheese fries
  3. Steak
No credit should be awarded for any attempt that does not include cheese fries and steak.

It turns out that Outback Steakhouse doesn't sell the 3-Point Bloomin' Onion for take-out. You have to actually go there. So our journey starts by actually going to an Outback Steakhouse. I suppose I should mention I'm not doing this alone, I'm dragging my brother and LP co-op victim partner along.



The 3-Point Bloomin' Onion arrives.



It doesn't look that bad from that angle. It's clear that the steak chunks are way larger and less numerous than the menu would suggest. The steak is actually pretty good. Slightly dry and more well done than you'd want if you were eating actual steak, but not bad for chunks of steak.



Once you're done with the steak you're left with what they call "Aussie cheese fries" on the menu but which look suspiciously like regular American fries loaded with American cheeses. I'd have to leave it to any actual Aussies in the audience to explain to me what makes these "Aussie." But the cheese fries aren't that bad either.

However...



Then you're left with what's basically a Bloomin' Onion that had a bunch of fries, cheese, and hunks of well done steak on it.

And even after you've removed that, a Bloomin' Onion is still a Bloomin' Onion.



That's good enough, right? Most of it eaten?



You can actually watch the grease drip off the onion petals.



So close now.



Before doing this I figured it couldn't possibly be that bad. That cis autodrag should be given a chance to eat some fried onions and be done with it. Now, though?
