I think yeaterday i would have won that competition hands down you should have seen me.
 
I don't know if I've dreamt this or not but I think someone told me to put a peg on my nose whilst chopping onions. I've never tried it so don't know if it works but it sounds sort of logical - all the tubes are connected in there aren't they?

I could actually see that working.
 
Haven't chopped an onion in a long time. Buy fresh onions already chopped from Asda. Worth the extra money.
 
I can honestly say that chopping onions has never really affected my eyes that much. I do tend to chop them very quickly though.... Which might explain why I only have 4 fingers on my left hand..:D

LOL you would think that lettie would know how many fingers we should have - I bet she has counted millions of baby fingers :D
 
I bite down a knife and it seems to work.Do not know why but i suppose its the same as Mez's method.Another thing i have done is to freeze the onion and then instead of cutting it i grate it down.The onion taste is there in the food but you can hardly see it.Do the same with Ginger and spices.Always fresh and lasts longer
