For a real kick sub with >1 lb hamburger onions sometime! WOW!) Couple questions -- "1 lb small what onions" -- didja mean WHITE yon-yons? Otay! Otay! Wasn't too wide awake yet and snot enuff coffee... Yup! Meant WHITE yon-yons. Sorry. "1 lb hamburger onions " -- Whatsis? What other name/description would I know them by? Dave, dear, there's yon-yons and there's yon-yons. You've yellow, white, red, hamboogers - which are also yellow, but way way stronger then yellow-yellow yon-yons... Pearl, and the small "whats" that come in a bag (at least here...) o'like two lbs. Pearls are like the size o'a walnut - don't want those. Want the ones that are a little smaller (+/-) than a baseball. Unless o'course you REALLY want some good onion flavor, then use the hamburger onions. The hamboogers are labled in the stupormarket "Hamburger Onions." I don't do that too often as man, the Guylas will talk to you for days - and give you nitemares... And chuck roast will work well in this, too. Very well. <GGG> I do the bell peppers when I make gulyas since I like a bit of the kerosene flavour they give. But, I do a mix of green, red and yellow capsicums for the colour as well as the taste. ENJOY!!! Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen Home of Hardin Cider & Yaaaaa Hoooo Ahhhhh Hot Sauce!!!
