I realize that this part of his legacy was eventually overshadowed by extensive proof of horrifying sexual abuse but I will always remember The Frugal Gourmet on PBS going on about how you can eat a vidalia onion just like an apple
Someone needs to find a way to republish his cookbooks, stripping all his commentary in a way that he gets nothing out of it.
I remember raising my eyebrows when he got to the part about how it is important to serve wine to 13 year olds in "FG Cooks with wine".
It is brutal. These are good recipes. Wine is a great deglazer, and a crucial way to reduce salt in recipes. Just don;t give it to children to drink and obviously don't sexually assault them.
A local farm outside the range of official Vidalia onions had a small patch of sweet onions. Someone who worked there said they’d just bake them like apples and eat them plain. Although, the way the weather is heating up here, I have to wonder how long these regional crops will be feasible.
