COOK OF THE WEEK - VIDALIA ONIONS

My husband brought home a 10-pound sack of Vidalia onions last week. Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy that we have them in the house. I love onions. And these are the best! I decided since the Shriner’s Club sold these and a lot of people purchased these in the past few weeks in the Humboldt area that is what I would write about this week. I went online to find the history or story of the Vidalia onion and this is what I found. There are probably many stories out there but this looked like it went back quite a ways. I’m only using parts of the story so you won’t get bored too soon! (I hope!!) I’ve put their words in italics and within quotes.
