The last time I went to Outback, I was starving and really looking forward to the Bloomin' Onion to start, as all the other times I had been it had been quite good. When it came out, it was a little cold and literally dripping in oil. I can see how if someone got that for the first time it would put them off forever. Now I can't look at that picture without the taste and feel of congealed fat on my tongue and roof of my mouth. Here's more Ozzies trying Outback. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJwfyg27wHI

The calorie count seems halfway reasonable if it's meant to be split between six people, but even then that's a meal, not a starter, and you can do a lot better for a meal than "onion+batter+oil."

It works best as something you get when you're at a county fair and have built up an appetite from a ton of walking and split it between yourself and 4-7 friends/relatives

You aren't supposed to eat it yourself. I mean, if you look at the calorie count on any other shared appetizer, like loaded nachos or those dip bowl things, it's probably similar. You share it. Yes it's still a lot of calories and not particularly healthy, but to most people going out to eat, that doesn't matter because you only do it once in a while. It's certainly not anti-food porn because 9 times out of 10, unless they screw up cooking it, it tastes great and doesn't look any grosser than a pile of onion rings.

Well, I guess I can sort of relate to Geop on it being anti-food porn because my, growing up, my dad was allergic to onions, so I ended up being his little onion geiger-counter for food. To this day, I can not stand the smell or taste of onion, but I realize it's mostly a psychological thing. (they are still slimy, gross balls of stinky garbage, though.)

Seriously, onions are like, the staple cooking ingredient. They're incredibly versatile, and the flavor compliments just about everything savory. Hell, most things I cook on the regular involve sauteeing a bunch of onion as the first step.

I do remember seeing a commercial for a kitchen implement that cuts an onion into that specific shape so you can fry your own onions at home. That might be pushing it.

I have a love/hate relationship with onions. If they're not stupidly well-cooked, I cannot stand them. Raw onions in food is the absolute worst. But caramelize or saute them until they're near-burnt, and you could serve me a plate of just them. Onion rings are the greatest food on earth. People look at me funny if I order a burger with no (raw) onions and then get onion rings, but they aren't even close to the same! Stop judging me, I know what I'm doing.

Yeah I mean I'm from northern China and they just eat huge stalks of green onions raw during mealtime. I don't expect other people from other cultures to do this, and certainly don't expect them to like something raw if they like the same thing cooked and seasoned. Also I've done this science experiment where apparently if you serve someone raw potatoes and tell them its apple they can't tell the difference.

Old mate Abbott ate a raw onion like an apple, and if that's not a good argument against them, I don't know what is.
