Adamantius answered my question about what was meant by blanching:

Thank you for the explantion.
>Are you confused yet? ; )
Well, sort of. Earlier in this list parboiling of onions was
mentioned and Ive seen it in (most?) period recipes with onions.
I think earlier it was interpreted on this list to mean what you
just described for modern parboiling. ie: A short boiling and then
cold water. Are you saying that in period recipes, parboiling
the onions means boiling until soft all the way through? For
that is how I would interpret *boiling till the food is done*.
