If you want a mild sweet onion, the king of the hill is the Maui Sweet Onion. You can eat them like an apple. You will pay a nice price for them also. Shallots are a type of onion, however very small in nature. They are used in many French dishes and very mild in flavor. They are also use in cooking by most Chef's that cook in a Classic style.

I really like all onions. Since I live in Georgia, Vidalia onions are popular and are good in salads and stews. I love red onions and use yellow onions for everyday cooking. I love green onions as a garnish or in dishes. I don't use pearl onions that often. If I had to pick my favorite onion it would be red onions.

For eating raw, no contest. Definitely Vidalia. In salads, either Vidalia or red. Otherwise all onions can be cooked with equal success.
Shallots offer a nice sweet change to stir fries.

Nothing tastes like a carmelized Vidalia onion. So darn sweet and goes with anything. They'd be my first choice, wish I could have them all year round. Also like yellow, red and green onions.

Depends on what I"m making, but overall I like vidalia best. There is nothing better if you are sauteeing them in butter until very tender! For most salads though, I like red onion. For general cooking I usually buy yellow onions for things like meatloaf, hamburgers, etc....

That would depend on what you are eating/cooking. I only use yellow, vidalia & pearl onions when I'm cooking.Red & green onions are great NOT cooked. They have real good flavor.

Vidalia are my favorite for all types of cooking and using in salads and on hamburgers, they are so sweet. My second choice would be red onions since they are fairly sweet and add a nice touch of color to foods.

I love Vidalia onions also Spanish.
For me it's the sweetness and also the size of them.
I never use cooking onions for anything I make.

i love onions! i guess vidalia and pearl are my favorites. use vidalia raw in sandwiches, pearl and vidalia also for sauteed food - nothing adds to the flavor like fresh onion
