Hello, Mopar

Yep, we *love* Vadallia onions. They may well be the same onion; I don't
know. However, they have to be grown in a very specific area. There are
some farmers mad as heck that live adjacent to a farm that grows
Vadallias, but if they grow 'em, they can't sell them as Vadallias as it
wasn't grown in the "approved" area (read - control output to keep price
higher).

Oh great..the same people that fix the utility prices are gouging me
on my onions now. What's next?

They are really good. I've found sometimes they can be a bit strong
(likely growing conditions), but usually they are very mild. I love
cutting a *big* slab of Vadallia to put on a hamburg. Yummy!

I've had a few bitter ones, but mostly when they are old. .29 cents
a pound for really big sweet ones right now..killer. It won't last
long tho. I've made onion/tomato sandwiches with them, no meat...great!
