Walla Walla Sweet onions - at least the real ones grown in and around Walla
Walla. I'd expect a sweet onion, especially the Walla Wallas which when
good are virtually as sweet as an apple, to be low-tears, but these are
insane. However, they make up for it IMHO by being the best onions as well
- in addition to amazing sweetness they have a fantastic, mellow flavour.
