If an onion variety could be bred that was truly dessert sweet: It could produce as planted each year. (apple and orange trees take years to produce) It would be an easy crop for the home gardner. It would add a little more variety to life.
onions are bulbs...

...they lurk in the soil waiting to grow. apples and oranges are fruit and sweet; designed to attract whatever/whoever to eat them and to distribute the seeds contained within. [po, Nov 04 2004]
Wonderful Washington Sweet Onion

Purportedly nearly sweet enough to eat by itself as a cool dessert. [jurist, Nov 04 2004]

Even if a sweet onion could be bred, people couldn't get rid of the mental picture of the taste of an onion, and probably wouldn't think of it as something nice for dessert. |

Mmmm..Onions and sweet carrot cream. |

po really knows her onions. |

Actually, if onions are cooked gently, for a long time, they become sweet. |

Just think of eating a tangy, crunchy cold sweet onion. Or, think of chocolate covered onion rings, or onion custard pie, or perhaps cold onionaide in the summertime. Since it is a bulb [po] there are no seeds and since it is an onion there is hardly any skin to remove. Yum, yum. |

Well, they already have onion marmalade. You might like that. |

The Morrocans cook the most incredible three-layer coucous. Fragrant coucous as a bed, a sort of lamb and vegetable stew on top of that and a topping of sweet red onions fried in caramel and saffron. Not dessert, but sweet and yummy anyway. |

The only dessert good enough to bring a tear to your eye. |
