If I remember correctly, various suggestions have been made on this
list for reducing the irritation when cutting onions. I think cutting
the onions when they have been cooled in the refrigerator was one of
them. I'm likely to have saved these comments in this file in the
FOOD-VEGETABLES section of the Florilegium:
onions-msg (24K) 11/30/99 Period onions. Scallions, shallots. recipes.
If not there, then I would check these:
root-veg-msg (111K) 2/17/00 Medieval and period root vegetables.
vegetables-msg (95K) 12/ 8/99 Period vegetables. Recipes.
Perhaps you can keep some of these other suggestions in mind in
case the goggles don't work because of fogging up or other reasons.
