Me and my friends are going to eat at an Indian restaurant, not our first time, but I seem to be the only one who outright hates onions, others either like it or find it ok, while I'm firmly in the "Only correct amount of onion in food is no onion".

I know some Indian dishes like Curry or Masala have onion in them, but they are well masked, so I can't detect them.

In salads, even small amounts is bad, If I eat one and don't notice it with my eyes, the first reaction often is feeling the "smell" or odor spread through every pore in my mouth, quickly rising to my "bad" eye, making it tear or feel weird, then I start to smell it and taste it. So raw onions are a no go.

Caramelized onions are not much better, their slimy texture is gross and the taste masks everything and taste/odor sticks to the mouth.

But when is finely diced and thoroughly cooked like on some dishes that uses them in mined meat or chicken, can work, but it can be detected if they are large enough. But at that point why have it?

Onion rings are also inedible.

It feels tempting at times to just say I'm allergic, but I have never done that.

It's not an allium thing , I like garlic.

Chives/Leeks/Green Onions/Scallions taste distinctly of onion, but they aren't as foul. But using them in excess makes them closer to normal onions. But I like them when used in cheesy fries with other toppings as well.

I'm curious, do other people who strongly hate onions and may or may not have been on r/onionhate before, have that threshold where it is OK? Or is it full dislike?
