I bought a couple of vidalias yesterday and they are sweet but they didn’t have the mildness that bestowed ‘household name’
status upon them.
Vidalia onion farmers say they’ve had a horrible, horrible crop this year. They are currently discussing receiving subsidies/aid from the gov’t. Too bad, vidalias make the best onion rings.
I got a box of them last week and so far they’ve all been outstanding, so I don’t know. Then again, even a bad vidalia is better than a good yellow Spanish sweet, so who am I to judge?
IMO the walla walla’s make the best onion rings, but to each his own.
The ones that I bought really were as sharp as a yellow onion. They taste good, but I’ll be cooking with them instead of using them in salad, as I had planned.
I can’t tell the difference between vidalia onions and regular yellow onions.
True the crop was bad this year, but you also have to beware becuse sometimes a company gets the idea to sell non-Vidalia onions under the Vidalia name. (Company Charged with Selling Fake Vidalias )
So if the onions are espcually bad there is a chance they aren’t Vidalias
at all.
Thank you! I was wondering if it was just me. the ones I got were not nearly as sweet as in previous years so I have been sauteeing them instead.
I’ll just have to wait for the Farmers Market to start up in two weeks so I can get some decent ones
