Onions

A friend once told me that if you have a reason to cry but you don't, then it causes disease -- a cold, or even worse.
Maybe I should chop a warm onion every day after I read the news.

But, now that I think about it, maybe it's better to cry when you chop onions. The tears, mixed with the sulfenic acid, might be very good for washing the eyes and removing harmful bacteria. My eyes have been tired all the time in recent years. I thought it was just aging or too much staring at computer screens, but it could be because I learned that trick about chilling onions.

Chopping an onion will not make you cry if the onion is cold.

Always keep a few onions in the refrigerator, and take them out just before you chop them. No woman no cry.

NO ONIONS

I also remember I made visual poems with onion and tulipe-bulbs.
If I can find photos of these compositions I'll scan them and put them here.

Ah, Belgian anecdote. The national slogan here is "eendracht maakt macht" (union makes our strength, very funny for a country so divided in linguistic communities).
The slogan in French is "l'union fait la force".
Artists joking on the Belgian situation have altered this into
"l'onion fait la farce" (farce is a joke but also to stuff something, so a cookery term)
