Sweet onions are best eaten raw, when cooked, especially fried, they
haven't much flavor. You should have put a raw slice of sweet onion
on your burger. I still have several Vidallias remaining from the six
pounds I bought a couple weeks ago but I eat them raw, very good in
salads and sandwiches... actually I think it's silly to pay a premium
price for sweet onions and then cook them. But then maybe you really
don't like onions.
