The Vidalia onion–the best thing about Georgia?

Hell, I don’t know. Never been there. I’m sure it’s a lovely state.

But the Vidalia onion has gotta be one of the best things about it. I can eat this onion like an apple, but, then, I’m a weirdo. It is the world’s sweetest onion, though. It even has a legal geographic designation, like wine and shit. Vidalia onions can only be grown in a handful of Georgia counties, all in one little area centered around–you guessed it–the town of Vidalia. If you take Vidalia onion seeds and plant them somewheres else, they’ll just turn out to be regular old onions. What makes Vidalias special is not the variety, but the extremely low-sulfur dirt in which they are grown–dirt which can only be found in a relatively small section of Georgia.

Is this the real reason Lincoln didn’t want the South to secede? Hmm.

Anyway, I’m gonna make sweet, sweet love to this baby later on.
