I think he means what excretes when you fry onions.

Yes, it's all the onion has to offer.

 Honestly I could eat a bunch of raw onions. Lightly fried onions are even better. I just don't like fully fried onions because they get very sweet and mushy.

I wouldnt say that the onion excrement is all that they have to offer. Personally I also like the texture. 

The other day, I had fried sauerkraut, onions and salmon, with some peppered turmericised miso soup and spinach. The onion pieces were quite big, not mushy but soft texture.

The flavor is all that matters from it, the texture is merely the sponge that holds it within. 

Get that grease out and infuse your beef with it, and your tongue will thank you for it far more than putting little sponge pieces on your food. 

Generally with food, less is more. It's what led to the absurdism of the rich guy appetizer meal, but there's some truth to it. If your journey is more about flavor than calories, there's a lot to learn from infusing a single bite with pure bliss. The simpler the better for texture while the more complicated the better for flavor.

 Yeah that's what happens when you don't caramelize them all the way. It's what I mean when I say lightly fried. Fried onions > Raw Onions > Caramelized Onions.

Onions are pretty crispy and not sponge like unless it's caramelized all the way. Also I don't think there really is a rule for texture that's like that, if anything overly simple textures can feel strange because even a steak has a somewhat complex texture. I mostly just don't like ice cream with stuff in it because it turns into a liquid quickly while the objects remain pretty solid, unlike savory/warm foods that the ingredients tend to melt just as much as the rest of the stuff. I don't think the oil from onions is gonna have as much flavor to it as eating the onions themselves.

Sure it crunches, but that shit's a sponge. Cook it in something and it will absorb qualities of it while also being squashed clean of it's liquid.

It has crunch to it, that's about it. Even the idea of 'chewy' is moreover good vs bad based on how long the flavor lasts as you keep biting into it. 

The difference between a good steak and a bad steak is far more over flavor than texture, but the good stages of taste tend to err towards a certain point of texture. It's why boiling steak is no good; The flavor bleeds into the water. 

I mostly just don't like ice cream with stuff in it because it turns into a liquid quickly while the objects remain pretty solid, unlike savory/warm foods that the ingredients tend to melt just as much as the rest of the stuff.

Real ice cream is supposed to melt, only the fake shit with guar gum and wood pulp in it is meant to last. 

We need frozen dishware with the purpose of maintaining ice cream's starting temp.

You'd be very mistaken in your thinking that, or you need more onions. 

The ideal bite will taste of a singular texture with a complicated flavor. If the food crunches for example, then that better be all it's doing or it signals to the brain that 'something is wrong' (ex: soggy potato chips). Even the crunch of a pickle in a burger is enriching but also distracting from the meat itself; A sauce that has a pickle-like flavor would do a superior job. This is why delis in New York have your pickle served on the side; It's meant to be a palate cleanser so that you can take another bite of burger or deli sandwich with it feeling that much closer to how good the first bite tasted. 

It's the same principal with chocolate + cheese: Not so good together but amazing if you take bites of each one after the other.

Caramelized onions? Wtf. 

Ill pretend I didn't ever hear that.

The onions need to be there. Imagine having to call Satan because someone removed the onions from the dish altogether and just left the excrement there, thinking it was acceptable.

The excrement is good though.

Some of the most complicated dishes are from India and Persia and they're packed with flavor.

But take Pasta alla Genovese, pick out the onions by hand after the fact and serve it to an Italian and then you can see the reaction. 

You dont pick the onions out of the dish. It doesnt matter how orgasmic the excrement might taste.

Personally I have now added artichokes into my food as well. These bad boys bring out a lot of the flavor. I like cooking healthy food, it uplifts my mind and spirit. Whenever Im done with cooking and I sit down to try the final product Im so excited.

Caramelized means cooked all the way. The onions get sweet and soft. It's not too bad I guess.
