Sweet Vidalia Onions

Oh how sweet the sound (and taste) of a Vidalia onion. I'm thrilled that they're popping up at the grocery store. The sweet taste of this onion reminds me of the South and Southern Cooking. With the onion being the oldest vegetable known to mankind, they've found their way into almost every cuisine and culture. My personal opinion, America should be proudest of the Vidalia.
