Onion in recipes should be by weight not number, as they vary by size considerably. Tonight's dish requires "6 onions" which is anything from 300g to nearly 2.5kg. Based on what we had in our fridge, that is.
@anon_opin You keep onions in the fridge?
@TimWardCam @anon_opin Where do you keep them?
@mansr @anon_opin Just in cupboards, with other things that don't need to be in the fridge, like potatoes, swedes, ginger, garlic. (Though for some reason we keep carrots in the fridge - if I can remember that far back, I don't think I did when I lived on my own.)
@TimWardCam @anon_opin Most of those things keep much better in the fridge.
@mansr @anon_opin Better than what? From buying them to eating them they last fine, so no "better" is relevant; if we were going to store them for months we'd check how they were traditionally kept in peasant cottages (which wouldn't have been in a fridge).
@mansr @anon_opin Oh, and the other thing we keep in the fridge these days but my mother never did is eggs.
