Eating a slice of bread while cutting an onion

[Askance]

Hmm, maybe it’s simply having your mouth closed that helps? Stuffing some bread up your nose would probably help even more.

If you hold the bread in your mouth and let it hang down as suggested above, it does work for a while and the bread gets very cold, which I assume has something to do with the chemical it is absorbing. However, the bread does get “full” and then it stops working.

So, if I went home and cut up an onion and held a piece of bread over it, you’re telling me the bread would get very cold? Must I dangle the piece of bread from my mouth?

What kind of magic voodoo is this?

Or, as a last resort, wear goggles

Why is this the last resort? I have a pair of swim goggles in my kitchen utility drawer that I use for cutting onions, and for grilling food when I’m using my cast iron smoker box… Sure, it takes away a bit from the manly image of food cooking over fire, but it’s a lifesaver.

Of course, there’s always the cucumber sandwich…
