I wish I knew why they were more expensive, better yet, I wish I could grow them reliably but I think it takes a cooler climate. Whites, yeah. Spanish onions need the cooking to make them work for me... However, and I haven't had them for a while, small Spanish onions briefly cooked in a pot with a little water and a half stick of butter and some salt and maybe a spice or two?
So many folks here lists items that are really fruits and not a vegetable by definition. A tomato is a fruit, Avocado is also a fruit.
Pretty sure most folks on the food forum are aware that tomatoes are a fruit, but are commonly accepted being cast as a vegetable. I mean a tomato in the midst of a fruit salad, or served with a dollop of cream would be a pretty odd taste sensation, no?

Not so weird, my parents and quite a few other family members all do the same thing. Not to mention a bread and butter onion (and maybe pickles too) sandwich is a summer treat! Cukes and onions in vinegar is another good raw onion dish.

Oh, yes!!! Love them too.
I often reuse leftover dill pickles brine to make pickled onions! Peel, cut or slice and add to the brine. Why waste it?
It works well for just any vegetable - cucumbers are great, but so are green beans, cauliflower, carrots, radishes, turnips, beets, or shredded cabbage. You can create perpetuate pickle jar
Not to mention that fermented vegetables are very healthy (some are a great source of probiotics)
I love spinach, it's my favorite leafy veg for salad. I grew up hating the stuff, but it's because I was only familiar with the canned variety. Oy. Terrible. Fresh or even frozen is delicious.

Spinach is great fresh in salads or on sandwiches, sauteed with garlic, or cooked into a quiche or pie with cheese, or baked into bread... and it's hella healthy too!
Almost everything, artichokes, asparagus, cauliflower, cabbage, all kinds of bitter greens, beans, carrots, celery, avocados, spinach, all kinds squash, mushrooms, bell peppers... I like a variety all the time.
