No platoon here, those days are long gone, that was more than fifty
years ago.

Part of a raw green onion imparts as much onion flavor as a whole raw
green onion. I never use part of any onion, I choose one the size
needed for the dish. When I buy onions I choose them in several
sizes, I never save part of an onion, I use it all. I see no point in
slicing into an onion for just a wee bit... that's what dehy onions
are for.... I keep a jar of dehy onions in the pantry for the same
reason I keep dehy garlic. Anyway I'd no sooner use part of an onion
as part of a banana. Thinking about it it's been years since I've
bought green onions. Lately I only buy sweet onions like Vidalias,
they're available in various sizes and I choose an assortment.
