Okay, time for one of those weird, "Stefan" questions.

In a different and completely unrelated thread, Elizabeta commented:

cook and asked if there were any menu items containing onions and was

that most if not all of them (except for the desserts) would contain
onions, ... >>>

  You wouldn't normally think of onions being in a dessert. And I  
suspect that medieval onions might have been less mild and less sweet  
than many of the onions raised today, but does anyone know of any  
period desserts that contain onions?
