Because that was not done, Bobby closed the thread. I'm sure that members who are able to help Doe will happily contact her.

Folk, this is not a complicated issue and I do not want to start a "posting war" here. I am not the big, bad moderator who is trying to shut down discussions, just a volunteer member who is trying to see that the rules governing this website are complied with.
The section of the discussion board where Doe's post is situated is a special section created for the benefit of the members so that they can Buy, Sell, and Trade stamps. If you have not done so before, please read Rule #4 HERE, and specifically the portion which states:
"Please do not "spam" other members' email notifications by conducting private communications on the discussion board. Specifically, do not work out the details of a trade, an offer for sale, or an offer to buy, in public view. "
Also, remember that posts in the Buy, Sell and Trade area are deleted after only 60 days, while on all the other categories, the posts remain.
If a good, informative discussion gets going in the Buy, Sell and Trade area, they will be deleted. That would be a waste of information. As suggested, best to start topical discussions about the items being offered in the Buy, Sell and Trade area in more appropriate areas to preserve what was discussed.
Hey wasn't this post about onions? Aren't you moderators turning this Onion discussion into another talk about the rules? LOL Kind of a Catch-22. You know I'm teasing you right? Ha ha
In any case - I loved the discussion about a topic and where do you draw the line. Does the onion on a hamburger count? BTW wasn't asking about the sliced onions a legitimate query to her request? In any case, let's talk vegies!
I also thought the idea about fast food on stamps was clever.
Now do you include scallions or green onions too? How about Shallots?
I don't know of too many stamps depicting onions. I can think of a couple from Bulgaria. Also, a few decades ago Singapore issued several souvenir sheets regarding trade. One of the sheets featured McDonald's.
What????? Nothing from Guyana?
I'm surprised that China doesn't have a stamp celebrating onions because, according to Wikipedia, they are by far the world leader with 20+ metric tons annually followed by India 8+ and rounding out the top three the US with 3+ huh, who would have thought it
No stamp from the top three??
Million metric tons that is
If someone is a member of the "American Topical Association" a search could be done in their database.
Seriously, a big thank you to everyone that has been helpeing me find onions on stamps or has shared a kind word with me. You are gems.
You're a gem too!!! Glad that you're back
There's a 1989 Great Britain stamp (Scott 1248) with a variety of vegetables which appears to include onions.

Bermuda should at least have one stamp with an Onion on it, since that's what the Bermudans call themselves. While I was there I good naturally asked several people if they were Onion's and they all responded "yes".
Mike
Hmmm, that offers a new slant in the search for the inner onion.
I searched through several booths at the APS stamp show, and did not find any stamps with onions on them. Wow.
Men are often to referred to as dogs. Old men as old dogs. Onions are not good for dogs.
Here's an onion from Idaho. I heard they are pretty good.
Oops! I scanned it with a potato....could it be Potato and Onion soup.
Well, if you include Poster stamps with your onions, this one is for you !!
Onionbus1
Now that is a nice onion! LOL
I was going to make a comment about those beautiful stamps, but appealing onions make me cry.
mmooooooooaaaaaaaannnnnnn ...
Onions may make you cry, but they are more popular than potatoes. How do I know that?
Easy ! There were 4 bids on the onion Poster stamp and only 3 bids on the Potato !!
Oh I wouldn't have thought that. If I were to choose for myself, I would do potatoes, but my dad loves onions.
One kindly topical dealer said that I was the first person to ask for onions on stamps, and he had been selling for 20 years. He also said that if I found any in his binders, to please buy them because he does not like onions. LOL
"So maybe I've picked the right category and maybe I haven't. I just don't know where to place a new thread ..."
Hmmm... politically incorrect? What would happen if USPS issued a stamp for Peasant's Day today?
At least these onions don't make you cry.

The 40 & 50 both have what look like onions to me. Yes?
i had this great burger the other day..burger with Swiss cheese,Bacon and onions ! Ummm good !
You are correct, Doe;
Traditional Cuban black bean soup has onion in it's recipe ( I LOVE black bean soup!)
And the yellow rice and chicken recipe calls for onion as well.......good find!
...now ya gotta win 'em!
Randy
The chicken recipe has onion in it, but I think that on that 40c stamp the white vegetable pictured is garlic, judging by the shape (which is also in the recipe).
In July 2015 New Zealand issued a sheet of 18 stamps celebrating Kiwi Kitchen. The top right stamp shows Tasty Kiwi Onion Dip, with an onion about to take a dip in a pool:

Here's a entire wagon load!
Thanks Randy, I have placed my bid.
Jill, that New Zealand stamp has a ton of cuteness on it! Thanks for posting that link.
A quick keyword sort on "onion" on bitstart yielded enough onions for an onion soup!
Including many I had never seen before..not that I was looking (Alderney # 473 mnh ~ 55p Mouse, Onions, Israel 205 USED 1961 Flowers, Sea Onion, and have you thought of it...onionskin paper)
rrr...
Jill,
On the 40 stamp, you are correct that there is garlic pictured; however, there is also an onion at top center of the stamp as well - a yellow one.
Randy
Someone had kindly posted a list of onions on stamps in this thread, and I often come back to this thread for reference. What happened to the list?
Turkey - 2005 "medicinal plants" set of 3 (leeks,garlic,onion)
Tuvalu - 2014 "root vegetables" mini-sheet of 4 (kohlrabi,turnip,sweet potato,onion)
Israel - 2015 set of 5 (carrot,red cabbage,lettuce,tomato,onion)
Bulgaria - 1958 set of 6 (onion,garlic,pepper,tomato,cucumber,eggplant)
Libya - 2014 set of 6 (onion,garlic,pepper,tomato,potato,eggplant)
Brazil - 1982 "agricultural products" set of 11 (not going to list them all, but onion is one)
Sweden - 2003 "harvest time" set of 4, with various veggies. 2 of them do show onion.
Switzerland - 2012 issued an onion bloom don't know if you would want to include it.
Taiwan - 1993 set of 3 for anniversary of AVRDC (Asian Vegetable Research and Development Centre) one has an onion, among other veggies
that should get you started.
That was a nice discussion about stamps we were having in another thread before it was shut down.
So maybe I've picked the right category and maybe I haven't. I just don't know where to place a new thread without it being shut down. So if it is in the wrong place, I'm sure I'll get my hands smacked.
Can anybody help Doe to find some more stamps with Onions on them?
