Why do I buy shallots?
For those of you who may not have worked in a commercial kitchen, shallots are a cross-breed between an onion and a bulb of garlic. What a useless vegetable!
You will see shallots in the cooling box of nearly every half-decent restaurant across the globe, and I have actually heard chefs say "I use shallots in everything! I don't know what I would do without the shallot!"
Are you fucking kidding me?! The shallot?? really?? Listen to me, the average consumer's taste buds can NOT differentiate between a shallot and an onion. TRUTH. So why the hell are you paying an elevated price for shallots when you could just as easily use a Vidallia onion and a clove of garlic?? So you can put the word "shallot" on the menu?? Outrageous. I'll tell you what, do me and your establishment a favor and ditch your precious shallot for produce more readily available. As for the menu, keep the shallots out of text, no one really cares anyway.
I am tired of shallots mascarading around as onions...or garlic...or whatever. Pick a side and stick with it.
The shallot is a lie.

I like this.
Such harsh judgment upon the poor, ambiguous shallot. I'm sure the shallot is just as confused as a teenage kid. But unlike a kid, it can't grow up. It prolly cuts itself, you know.
Does a shallot tear up if it cuts itself.
