DON'T CRY OVER SLICED ONIONS!
Another tried & true kitchen folklore tip! When cutting onions, place three or four flat toothpicks in your mouth, widest end out. The wood soaks up the onion fumes before it reaches your eyes. Simple and proven. At Pepperheads, the chefs are quite often whipping up something that calls for a pile of onions…once the fumes start getting to your eyes, replace the toothpicks with fresh ones. It sure keeps the tears down. Did you ever see the Monty Python skit where they were trying to fake real tears?
