Pink onions!!! B)

We don't get those over here! Either they are white or red...

Sounds delicious! (I cooked a pasta dish last night that I made with lamb and a lovely white Burgundy... Yum!)

I like also pasta , lamb and Burgundy but I prefer the red :P
the pink oignon is only grown in Roscoff and around.
since 1827 the farmers from Roscoff cross the channel to england to sell it on their bike, and you called them the " johnny".
one of my friend use to go to Newcastle!
I think it's probably the best oignon in the WORLD :D it's sweet and very good fried on the pan

Blimey, grown in Roscoff since the 1600s! :D

How do they know that the original strain came from Portugal?
