Onion rings are one of the things I almost always order when it's on a menu, especially if it's an option to fries. I tend to like all types of onion rings, but it hadn't really occurred to me that some are made from minced onion. But I dislike it when I take a bite which doesn't cut completely through the onion, which then slides out to leave a tube of fried breading. (One of the other things I almost always order when it's on a menu, at least in the cold months, is French Onion Soup.)

The marshmallows weren't in the baking aisle near the jello? I find it so disorienting when a supermarket isn't laid out right.

Yeah, they weren't in the baking aisle, and they weren't with the candy.

You just named the OTHER thing I dislike about the whole-ring onion rings, which is exactly when a single bite ends up pulling the onion out of the ring and you're left with empty breading.

I thought I was the only one who disliked breaded onion rounds. My option is to not eat onion rings at all. As for retirement, you also need to think about life without stairs. Pro tip.

This is also on my mind. Single-story all the way.
