...or blooming? Or those skinny little straws or frizzles? What do you like?

I'm a beer batter aficionado but at home if there's oil going it's easy to slice some onion real thin, soak in milk for a few minutes then toss in seasoned flour and drop in the oil until they're "frizzled."

I like the light tempura like batters. And the onion strings served by the Buckhorn Grill - thin crispy oniony deliciousness!!!
I like mine dipped in a little BBQ sauce.

I've had both that were good but I prefer a good heavy batter, I can sometimes leave the onion and eat the crunch on the outside.
Blooming onion type things were a huge fad for me at one time, I had to have one if they were offered.. Not so much anymore..

I got a little tired of the Bloomin' Onion too - it had it's place and now it's done.


I prefer Onion Rings in a Tempura type or Beer Batter over breaded, and I LOVE frizzled ones.

A local restaurant that has long closed used to serve an onion loaf. It was lightly dusted in corn starch and fried. Just heaven...

Panko is technically breaded because you put it through a light egg wash then drop it in panko crumbs.

They didn't disappear. They are still in Maine. In Kittery, to be precise.

My favorite place -- Three Buoys -- closed but this place is great too: https://www.bobsclamhut.com/ And, yes, they have whole belly clams. Yum, yum.
