> Aren't onions more a source of flavor than Calories?

I don't know about the calories exactly, but I believe onions were a
staple food in (Northern?) Europe before the intruduction of potatoes.
I've heard that you needed only one quarter the land to feed the same
amount of people from potatoes compared to onions; this lead to
English feudal lords taking three quarters of the land from their
Irish subjects.
