By the way, I think the lot of you are all chefs or frustrated cooks.

They are worth asking for. Bug your grocer to get them in stock.
What I forgot to mention about the red onions is that they have a slight sweetness to them (kind of Vidalia-like) and are not over-powering like regular onion flakes. Basically, they don't taste cheap.

Funny story from back in my non-qual days on the Barbel, I was assigned for my sentence of Crank Duty in the galley and it was like throwing Br'er Rabbit in the briar patch.

I got to be friends with most of the cooks (rule #1 for subs, ALWAYS make friends with the cooks) and their Chief due to my experience working in the family (seafood) restaurant. We had a LOT to talk about which helped with the long hours.
One day we were in Yokosuka and getting ready for a VIP dinner on the boat. My best bud in MS division came up to me said, "Try this.. Chief told me to make cocktail sauce for the boiled shrimp."

"Bill, its orange..."
"I know, I've never made it before but try it.."




Once I get my voice back I say, "Bill its supposed to be cocktail sauce, it isn't supposed to burn through steel..
