Unjaring Baxters Silverskin Onions - Double Bill

Here we go again. This shite, much like my ADHD hyperfocus, now has a life of its own.

Welcome back to “Old Man Documents his Breakdown as he Opens Jars of Pickled Onions”; the online phenomenon that continues to exist despite public demand.

After the highs of M&S and the soul-crushing lows of Aldi, it felt time to tackle a household name*. A brand that feels like it’s been on grocery shop shelves since the dawn of time: Baxters. Well, since 1868, according to the jar labels.

It’s a double feature again. Baxters Silverskin Onions and Baxters Large Silverskin Onions. It felt only right to try them together in a battle of size and, hopefully, substance.

Does size matter in the world of pickled onions? It’s a question that has plagued philosophers for minutes, and I am here to answer it with the scientific rigour it deserves.

The usual ramshackle production values are, of course, present and correct. The elastic band camera mount has been deployed, and the studio maintains its normal state of studied chaos.

There’s a grim determination to this episode;  a sense of obligation to a series that I, and I alone, am invested in.

Will the larger onion prove superior? Or will the classic silverskin hold its own? I won’t spoil the grand conclusion here; you’ll have to watch the video for the official, and deeply serious, verdict.

If you’re ready for another descent into preserve-based madness, the video awaits.

*I imagine. I’d never heard of them before I got slightly obsessed with pickled onions.
