That is a great question. You made me think for a while with that.
I would also say what Alien Boy said. I would not say bitter, sour or spicy, though. |

Onion has a strong taste. There was so much onion in that stew the flavour was overpowering. Onions which are fried or roasted have a much sweeter taste as they are caremelised. Onion has a savoury taste. |

These alliums—members of a family that also includes garlic and chives—are indispensable, adding a baseline of sweet and earthy flavor to many cooked dishes and contributing a spicy accent when served raw. But even if you use them almost every time you cook, onions can still be pretty bewildering. |
