Question: when a recipe calls for “5 green onions,” does the number refer to each separate bunch of onions connected at the root? Or each individual tube? Since I like green onions, I’m erring on the side of plenty. Also, it’s not like I have many ideas for the leftovers.

This reminds me of the difficulties of onion sizing — in my world, recipes either get a Massive Onion (circumference roughly that of a CD), Tiny Onion (circumference smaller than a tennis ball ), or No Onion. I’d like to institute these as technical terms.

I also enjoy green onions but I always thought of 5 green onions as 5 "onion tubes:. I usually add more onions and scallions to suit my tastes none the less. Great new section.

5 green oninons, I believe, refers to 5 single stalks from the bunch. That's how I'd interpret it.

The official conclusion of this post is that I like green onions.
