What is a green onion as opposed to a regular onion?

green onions are also known as scallions, long thin onions. yummy

OK, here's a question. Recently I had bought a large yellow onion. It
had begun to sprout some green shoots out the top. I never did get around
to eating the onion, but it was fascinating to watch the sprouts grow.
Eventually they looked exactly like scallions, growing out of a large
onion (which was getting smaller and mushier by the day, as it was feeding
the scallions/sprouts.

My question: *were* these scallions? Are scallions just the sprouted
part of an onion, or are they different plants?


IIRC, scallions are just the sprouted part of an onion. MY MIL told me
years ago that you have to bend/break that sprout for the bulb to grow...
dunno if that's really so, I am NOT a gardener or farmer at all! but makes
sense to me

Agreed, completely.

I haven't seen the wagons circled so quickly since the last time we

"Circling the wagons" - good expression for it.

*Exactly*
Thank you

There you go, Victor, she's happy again. ?Good job, man!

Yes CatNipped, I AM happy again, thank you.

The thing is, I am one of the regulars, yet I'm being pounded for
pointing out the obvious.

Not by me, you get a BIG HUG from me, FWIW. ?

Yeah, BIG HUG from me too.

I was going to ping you myself Victor, bit since I'm here, could you

There's something I'd like to talk to you about
I'm a total ditz when it comes to munged addys ?LOL
Scritches to yer kitties.

Hugs

Love, and hugs (oops, there I go again), and PEACE, and joy, and bright
blessings (sorry BaHa), and happiness, and romance, and moonlit walks
on the
beach, and that new car smell, and daisies, and kittens AND puppies,
and
springtime, and roses, and BIG HUGS, and snowflakes on your tongue, and
hot
nookie while the kids are asleep, and kisses, and candle-lit dinners,
and
sunshine, and rainbows, and perfume, and flowers, and BIG HUGS, and
new-mown
grass, and gropes in a movie theater with the smell of buttered popcorn
in
the air, and summer breezes, and skritches, and honey, and sugar, and
clean
laundry on a clothesline, and BIG HUGS, and moonlight reflected off a
quiet
lake, and sleeping late with your sweetheart, and nose kisses from
kittens,
and BIG HUGS, and fuzzy bellies, and chocolate cake, and ice cream, and
LILACS, and your favorite show on TV, and attaboys from your boss, and
BIG
HUGS, and vacations in the mountains, and fluffy clouds that look like
animals, and... ALL the GOOD things in the ENTIRE WORLD laid at your
FEET!

Do you REALLY mean that Lori? I'd love to believe you.
If so, I wish the same for you, because life is too short to be
snarky...I love that word BTW. I looked it up in the Scrabble
dictionary and a snark is an uneen animal.
Hmmm


You know, I was angry when I sat down here and read the crap Kyla
posted about me. Not
just angry. I was *****ed*. I don't mind being virtually smacked for
things I do and say. I
*do not* like being accused of things I *didn't* do......in front of a
global audience, no less.
Now I'm out of breath laughing. "Hot nookie when your kids are
asleep?" ???!!!!! OMG.
Now, *that's* a well-wisher.
And now, the whole thing stupidly funny. Like Elmer Fudd says, "Don't
take life seriously, son. It
ain't nohow permanent."

Sherry

Dunno why you were so ****ed off at me Sherry.
Lets just drop the whole thing, okay? And you're right about not taking
life seriousily...it's too short.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elmer Fudd was a wise man, and *vastly* underappreciated by Bugs! ;

LOL...true.

Fuzzy Spotted Tummy Rubs,

CatNipped

Can we all call a truce please? I would so love that.
And get back to the business of having fun here like we used to?
PLEASE?

Hugs
Kyla


She was probably annoyed because you said she called you a drama queen.
She did not. You misquoted her on that in an earlier message, if I recall
correctly, and she corrected you at that time.

MaryL

I know, and I admitted my mistake and apologized to her, which I hopes she
accepts.

I didn't think it was worthy to start a thread about but the _look_

funny. She seems both astonished and puzzled.

I would love to know exactly why she reacts so oddly.

Cats seem quite baffled, in a fascinated way, by birds. Just ask

Assuming your scallions are my spring onions, no, they aren't quite the same
(may be the same species, but a different variety).

My parents were given a large bunch of spring onions (with roots), so large
they had no hope of eating htem all befor ehtey started to rot. So Dad
thought he'd plant them and let them develop into regular onions. The
didn't - they never developed an enlarge bulb. Even though they got alot
bigger, they were always the shape of a leek.

Yup, it sure is....now I'm gonna delete the whole blasted thread again.

Kyla,

You're not being pinged again. It's just a runaway thread. People
are too lazy to change the subject line, is all. Most of it has

I see. So real scallions/spring onions have a small bulb which doesn't
grow. Whereas the sprouts from a large bulb (ie, onion) are a related,
species, but not exactly the same?

Has anyone eaten the green sprouts from a regular onion? I wonder if they
taste the same. I didn't eat the ones I had in my kitchen - I just watched
them grow, and eventually they wilted, so I composted them.

I have never eaten the sprouts from a regular onion, but my parents used to
have a nice backyard garden. We had scallions, and they would never develop
into the type of large onions that I think you are describing. A scallion
would get a little larger -- and hotter and sometimes a bit "tough" -- if
left in the ground too long, but they would never grow into one of those
extremely large bulbs.
