    I’ll never forget the time I batch cooked about 30 huge onions down into a spicy caramelised onion dish in my little dorm room in Japan (for a food festival) and probably fucked up the stove hood as a result. It was so good but the smell wasn’t so great the day after and it took about 3 full days to air the tiny place out completely.

      Yikes that sounds like weapons grade onion warfare.

      My most intense onion story was the time in my first apartment when I bought 3 onions and left them (forgot about them) in the back of the pantry for… who knows how long… and then one day suddenly the apartment STANK and I was hunting for the source of the smell. Turns out the onions sort of melted into a dark sludge which dripped down multiple shelves. I can’t remember how long that smell stuck around but it was a while. When I think about it I can still kind of smell it.

        Oh yuck. Rotted onion is a particularly nasty smell.
