At least you can eat them! Ever since I got pregnant with my daughter (6 years ago) I have been unable to eat onions....and I have TRIED! I love how they flavor food, but the most I can stand now is the dried onion powder or dried flakes you can get in the spice isle. At least I don't have to cut them anymore....When my hubby wants them he trots over to his Mom's house and they share one. My Father-in-law can't eat them either, he breaks out in hives :) Mikki Fairbanks Alaska (Gearing up for state fair time...)
