I think most people like them.  More for eating than for cutting them up for cooking. CryTongue

Can I vote for all of them?

Onions are my favorite vegetable.  I eat them raw sometimes.  I used to eat a whole cooked onion for lunch.

I'll vote for Vidalia onions...so sweet and tasty, especially caramelized.

Green along with cheese and other breakfasts, or along certain soups. Red I like for the same purposes. Yellow I use for cooking. Great vegetable. I don't know what Vidalia, Leek, Ramp, Welsh, Maui and Pearl are.

Vidalia is a sweet variety grown in Georgia.
Leeks are like really big green onions.
Ramps are wild found in the Appalachians.  (I still haven't had any fiddle head fersn.)
Never had any Welsh, just saw them as a variety of green when I looked it up.
Maui are another variety of sweet and I apologize for leaving out the Washington Walla Walla.
Pearls are probably my least favorite variety, they are rather small and not too tender or tasty.

Oh, it seems like I already knew leek, and I like it. It's called "praz" where I come from.

Just found out it is what we call a "Spring Onion". And that the word Welsh is a corruption anyway and has nothing to do with Wales.

You live in Wales, right?. 

My Wiki research. Best not to put too much trust in them.

I don't know all these varieties, so I voted for Glass Onion (not to eat by the way).

I used to help my grandmothers (who were peasants, I lived at the country until I went to school) at doing these:

I was only responsible of preparing the onions for the knitting so I never learn how to knit them. Fortunately the traditions is still maintained.

I just thought it might be a common name in the States. It wouldn't be called that here anyway. Although it is from Old English and before that Old germanic according to Wiki.

Onions are a cancer. They should be destroyed.
