“My father used to munch on whole onions as if they were apples, I'd told her once. I thought of it as evidence of his hearty Russian peasant appetite and ways. No one who ate onions like that could have a weak constitution. A few days later, alone in the kitchen, I impulsively took a bite out of a red onion, to feel what it was like.

How did she know it wasn't an apple?”
― Francisco Goldman, Say Her Name
