*The more astute among you will be wondering why I'm not complaining about the onions he piled atop the sandwich. Strangely enough, I'm actually a fan of onion rings and fried onions, as long as one cooks the living fuck out of the onion. This is also probably why I tolerate onions in Korean stews: they've been cooked to the point that they've lost their souls. This does not, however, explain why I'm OK with things like pico de gallo or the onion-filled dipping sauce that comes with one's galmaegi-sal.
