What is the meaning of life?
Does God really exist?
What is at the end of the universe?
Today’s post is going to attempt to answer one of life’s
most unanswered questions…
How
do you chop an onion without crying?
After probing the World Wide Web relentlessly, I have
compiled a list of the best suggestions I have found.
I must warn you that none of the below have been tried
and tested by myself so you are cautioned to trial them at your peril.
- Chewing gum whilst chopping
- Lighting scented candles near the chopping board
- Biting on a wooden spoon whilst chopping
- Once it is peeled put it in cold water for a while then chop it, or chop it under running water
- Refrigerating it for half hour prior to chopping
- Or alternatively place it in the freezer for 15 minutes prior to chopping
- Wear swimming goggles whilst chopping
- Leave the root on whilst chopping
- Put a piece of bread in your mouth whilst chopping
- Put salt beside where you are chopping
- Put a match between your teeth whilst chopping
- After peeling , place the stuff you peel off on your head and continue to chop the rest
- Stick a teaspoon in your mouth whilst chopping
- Leave a filled glass of water in front of the onion when chopping it
My personal favourite suggestion is "after peeling, place the stuff you peel off on your head and continue
to chop the rest". Next time I peel an onion I may try this tactic out- I’ll
let you know if it works.
If anyone has had any experience with the above
recommendations, or has any different ways to enable the world to chop onions
tear-free then please do comment below.
If we work together, then hopefully one day, we can solve
this epidemic together.
…Alternatively here are my own top tips:
- Buy ready chopped onions
- Get someone else to cut it for you
- Man up and get over it, it only takes two minutes to chop an onion.
