try organic ones!


could do


it's not so much I wanted dead strong ones

it's just I seemed to remember them as more powerful
like when you cut them up

you would cry and so on

chooped one up yesterday and it did not affect me in the slightest

When I was walking around Cirencester about 6 months back I thought it would be a good idea to have a beef burger, I got a bit puzzled when the question fired my way was "do you want 'anyans' with that?", had to think for a bit to realize that they meant onions.

obviously you are more of an onion conoisseur (sp?) than me... i will stick to what comes in the bag from tesco's, or the garden if i happen to be at home. yes we grow our own veg here in backwards land *cough* yorkshire... ;)

Perhaps it's something to do with the way the locals pronounce the name of their town; somthing ilike 'Sisister', isn't it? :)

I'd say that any differenece is more likely to be due to the variety, rather than whether it was organic or not.

I can remember times in my mothers kitchen when I would be shedding tears cutting the things - copious tears in fact


and, by way of entertainment, would occasionaly eat a piece of the shredded item - and I remember thinking it was really strong

And yes what does that prove.

Was this kitchen in Bolton by any chance.

Goodnight KA.

From the Wikipedia:

Traditionally, Cirencester was pronounced sis-etter or sis-sester, but by the 1980s this pronunciation had been largely replaced by Syren-sester. The older pronunciation is now rarely used, while many local people simply abbreviate the name to Ciren.
