All this talk of onions got me thinking. Used to be at least in this area,
you could buy white or red peeled onions at all of the grocery stores. I
think they were priced individually and cost a lot more than the regular
ones. They were sold refrigerated. My dad used to boast about buying them
that way because they were cleaner. And I guess that worked for him because
he didn't buy too many onions. I would buy them myself once in a great
while if I needed one right away and was in a hurry to use it. But since I
normally go through a lot of onions, I would usually just buy the room
temp.ones with the skins on. Anyway... I have not seen any peeled onions
like this for a long time! I have occasionally seen onions that are sold
sliced or cut up. They are sold in tubs. I did buy those once, I think. I
think I bought those and a sliced tomato. I only bought them because we
were moving and it is custom to provide a meal for the movers when you move
out of military housing. Most people order pizza. I was quite sick of
pizza so just got an assortment of meats and cheeses, breads, condiments,
etc. and let everyone make their own sandwich.

Oh and a side note. The cloth onion bag that I bought was a waste of money.
It did not keep them fresh. One onion spoiled in there. I caught it before
it was too bad, but it leeched some green mildew onto the bag. I couldn't
get the stain out so just tossed it.
