The Bloomin' Onion is here in all its faux-antipodean glory. You have impugned my nation's culinary theft skills. You have no excuses left. Eat the Bloomin' Onion.

cis autodrag, you had one job. With one sole purpose in mind did you put together this thread - harnessing all that memepower and baiting all that humour - and convince Mega64 to let you post it. All you had to do was get Geop to eat the onion. And yet; Geop posted:no And now we have a problem. The forums hunger, cis autodrag. They hunger, not for onions, but for the eating of onions, which is kind of weird when you think about it but that's just how we roll in Let's Play. It's who we are. I think it's pretty clear where the forums stand on this; YamiNoSenshi posted:If Geop won't eat the onion then gee OP should eat the onion. bman in 2288 posted:I am down for this. cis autodrag, eat the onion. ultrafilter posted:The onion must be eaten.

Gamerofthegame posted:op eat the loving onion you coward Teledahn posted:loving hell somebody better eat the onion and I don't think it's going to be me. cis autodrag, it's time to stand up and take responsibility. Welcome to your  MOD CHALLENGE!You could probably guess most of the terms yourself but here they are:
You have two weeks to make it happen. Fail to Eat The Onion and you'll Eat The Ban instead. Fail to entertain us and you'll eat a courtesy probation. Should you be deemed to have passed with flying colours, though, you can have a forum upgrade of some sort (plat/archives/new avatar), on us, for your trouble. Oh... but watch out. Per ancient Mod Challenge tradition, anyone is free to take up the challenge themselves, and if they do a better job of it than you do, then they will get to choose your fate. You know what must be done. Good luck.

Is the challenge specifically for the Three-Point Onion, or does any version of the onion work? If I wanted to make my own, do I need to emulate it as closely as possible, or can I get fancy? Because I've got ideas.

Geop, now is the time to eat the onion. Your obstinate refusal to consume l'oignon, as the French call it, has not only birthed several wondrous gifs portraying said refusal, but also initiated a mod challenge. Time to strike while the iron is hot, my friend! Eat the onion and get that chumpo banned, or mega-probated, or perhaps given a humorous red title letting all the forums know what a nerd he is. Do it! Take his challenge and shove it down his gullet by shoving the onion down yours!

Bland, that's unfortunately something of a local tradition. Finding good chili is unreasonably hard, so we usually just cook it ourselves. Your best options for spicy are kebabs or Indian. Also, it looks like Bloomin' Brands has been closing down restaurants lately. I'm not sure how many they have left in the UK if any. You may need to go the homemade route.

I should probably clarify this since three separate people have asked; Nobody needs to show their face in their presentation. Any basic proof of account identity will do; just have your username written on something and shown somewhere, we're not picky. This is LP; you know how we feel about facecams. (You can if you want but it absolutely is not a requirement.)

You know, I can't help but feel somewhat responsible for putting the OP in a rather inauspicious position.AJ_Impy posted:There are several Outback steakhouses in the UK, and they serve the full wonder that is the Bloomin' Onion. You have said where you are. The Bloomin' Onion is here in all its faux-antipodean glory. This was certainly true the last time I dined at an Outback Steakhouse at the heart of our nation's capital. However, since then, AJ_Impy posted:Also, it looks like Bloomin' Brands has been closing down restaurants lately. I'm not sure how many they have left in the UK if any. They're gone. No longer is the delight of a pound of deep-fried onion available upon these hallowed shores. This means that the OP would be unable to get the original, and may be hard-pressed getting access to a kitchen with which to make their own whilst being in a hotel. I look forward to seeing their effort, but in the mean time I sought to correct my earlier misinformation through honest toil and onion consumption. Firstly, let's head down to the local supermarket to assess what onion-related ready-meals might be available for consumption. Can we replicate the ridiculously calorific experience?   Hm. As you can see, not the widest selection to work from, but together that should be at the very least a sufficient quantity of deliciously battered and spiced onion thingies. Let's take a closer look.   All fairly bare bones, and sadly lacking in any kind of dip or sauce. Must've been sold separately. Ah well. Let's get cooking!    Isn't that appetising? Ah, but the first bite is with the eye.  Behold, a gigantic pile of oniony stuff! I don't know about you, but I think this looks Bloomin' marvellous. Now, where there's beauty, there is also the beast:  You know, I could really do with a shave. Ah well. So, we must valiantly struggle against this vast pile of oniony stuff.   Step by step, oniony thing by oniony thing, we carry on. We dare where Geop dares not, we persevere past the point any sane person would have stilled their mad onion consumption.   The end is in sight! But a single bhaji and a single ring of battered onion stand in the way of our ultimate triumph!    I would like to appeal for Clemency: It turns out the OP can't simply visit an Outback steakhouse in the UK and may not have easy access to a kitchen. I hold my hand up on getting the first one wrong. In any case, the OP was trying to perform a public service: Should they suffer for Geop's onion refusal?
