I always say this to my friends when they say they don't like onions .... I agree with them, onions are terrible if tried to eat them raw. However, if you cut them thinly and fried them with butter (but basically any oil) on low heat for about 10-15 minutes or longer .. you could eat it like a bread topping.

Fry them faster on higher heat to caramelize them and they taste like candy ... fry them with mushrooms and they go fantastic with any meat dish or barbecue.

Nothing in the world of cooking better than frying onions

But saying all that about onions ... they are good eaten raw in the right way ... the Spanish love making cheese and onion sandwiches. I thought it was a terrible idea but it is absolutely amazing. Now I make my grilled cheese sandwiches with very thin sliced onions. But even just a plain cheese sandwich with thin slices of onion is great.

Big fan of thin sliced raw onion on hot sandwiches or grilled cheese. A single tomato slice is also super good with raw onion on sandwiches.

Learned that one from trips to southern Spain. Thin sliced Spanish onions with strong Manchego cheese on a bun ... the locals live on it.
