A steak shouldn't be spicy in the first place, a steak should taste like steak.

This is my point.

And after this trip, let me assure you that the USA does spicy food about 1000x better than anywhere in Europe.

To be fair, a lot of that is the melting pot from Latin America and Asia bringing their spices and recipes with them.

It's good. On this trip I've been to a bunch of places that called themselves Mexican or Chinese and not a chili to be seen anywhere.

OK, here's my attempt at the mod challenge.

As I told you all earlier, I'm currently on a fantabulous european vacation and did not have access to The Onion in order to eat it. The first step on my journey was simple: Go somewhere I could get The Onion. I drove to the airport, but it turns out that there are no flights to anywhere with an Outback from Wales. Fortunately, the ywdwargmydochdochmolchywag (that's Welsh for Counter Lady) let me borrow an aeroplane so I could fly myself. It took a while to get the hang of it, but eventually I found a route:




Once I'd landed in Oosotoraria (that's Nihongo for White Man Internment Camp), I made haste for the nearest Outback Steakhouse. I'd landed on what turned out to be Ayer's Rock because it looked easy to land on, so the kangaride to Sydney was quite difficult, but eventually I had my prize:




The nice Steak Bloke at the Outhouse Steakback told me that this very special onion was created for a spectacle called the March of Madness. While I don't know about sports, I thought it would be kind to let The Onion witness the event before I became forever one with it, so next we flew to America to view this game tournament. I was much better at flying this time and I even managed to go in a straight line!




Because I am a glamourous fashion star we got free seats next to the basketball pitch. It was exciting, but I think all the squeaking of shoes scared the onion because it quivered through the entire game. I can't say I understood what I was seeing, but the crowd cheered loudly whenever the ballsman threw the ball through the ringboard. It didn't mean much to me, but I'll gladly consume applause no matter who it's intended for.




While we were attending the game, we met a very tall man named LeBron James. I asked if he was a frenchman and he said I was funny and asked about my trip. I told him about The Onion and he asked if he could watch me eat it, so he joined us on our final flight from America's Basketball Island to Los Angeles




LeBron was an expert on all types of fried foods and he told me that I should prepare my mouth with a little botox. He assured me that it reduced the gag reflex and made it easier for The Onion to merge with my esophagus.




As prepared as I could be, slowly I raised my friend and sacrifice, The 3-Pointed Onion, to my beglittered maw:




Even in spite of LeBron's very useful advice, and generally supportive attitude, it was quite difficult to hold my beautiful Onion companion down. In Its honor, I did my best to hold a stern face:




Finally, my Flesh one with The Onion, I glistened in triumph, a new collective soul, consciousness expanded, mind linked with the global tuberous network of the onion mind. Finally, we were at peace. Finally, there were no layers between us:




And as required by the rules of the challenge, proof of identity:

British pub grub tends to fall into 'traditional', 'gastropub' or 'this pub is also a Thai restaurant'. Onion blossoms fit none of these.

Probably the soup. It's like French onion soup, but the Belgian version uses beer rather than beef stock.

You have to wrap it in a thin sheet of pie crust dough, then dip it in the oil very quickly.

It also helps if you superfreeze the ice cream beforehand. Like, negative degrees Fahrenheit levels of superfreezing.
