The best answer yet. Yes, I can tell the difference as stated above,
they're not quite so oniony tasting. But and old shallot commands
your attention! Can be very strong. Another plus is you don't have
that awful, strong onion taste/breath the next morning. Shallots are
much milder and I'm a great fan of them.
