Quoted message said:

I remember getting onion rings in a can,
that were sloppy. So, these were not dried.
Anyone know where I might get these?

Thanks for any commnets.

*Any* comments? OK. WTF would you want these for?
I can't imagine such a product.

Are you referring to Durkee onion rings? I don't know where in the world
you live, but in my area (Philadelphia) I would be hard pressed to find
a supermarket that does not sell them. They're usually sold in the
canned vegetable section.

We get them in the canned section. I buy them for snacks. I like 'em.

I have looked for these for at least 5 years here in Oregon,
and can't find them.

Anyone know where I can buy Durkee onion rings online?

They are Durkee French Fried Onions, if that helps (not onion rings,
which are often in the freezer section).

I think French's makes them. There are several store brands, too.
French's should have a website.

Requesting them from your grocery store might work. Stores are pretty good
about special orders - if it doesn't cost them too much. These are not
that expensive, so a case (probably 12 count) would not be a great
investment for a store in exchange for customer service.

They keep unopened on the shelf very well. I keep them months at a time.

If you open them (or end up with a partial can) and they are a bit stale,
spread them in a single layer
on a cookie sheet and heat in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes.

If you use them to top green bean casserole or some such, they will crisp
up during cooking.

Are you are looking for the crispy fried onions that go into the
"classic" green bean casserole? Have had no problem at all finding
those in Oregon - every major chain in the Eugene/Springfield area
carries them - Safeway, Albertsons, Winco, Fred Meyer. Even the small
local market down the road in Walterville has them in stock during the
holidays. Saw them there today when I popped in for gingerbread man
ingredients...Unless you're really waaaaay out in the woods, you should
be able to find them without ordering a case online.

I thought you said you *didn't* want these dried onions, but
rather 'sloppy' ones.

???

I am looking for the onion rings (maybe just onion pieces),
that are in the can (or a jar?),
that are wet (sloppy),
NOT the DRIED ones.

Then you definitely won't want the Frenches/Durkees product. Are they
packed in water or brine?

not sure, but one or the other.

I'm puzzled. Tell me this isnt just rings of onion youre after, that
theyre somehow fancy flavoured, and you dont know how to make the
flavouring. As I cant think of any reason in the world anyone would buy
canned boiled onion rings.

I have no clue what you're talking about. You might find what you are
looking for by talking to the manager of a large local supermarket.

OK, her goes.
I'm 60 years old.
When I was a kid, my grandma would bring these onions,
that I think were in a can or jar.
I think they were just flavored, cooked onion rings in a can!
Yes, I know, that sounds silly!
And yes, now I would cook my own, and spice them the way I like!
BUT,
I have this OLD memory, and I was hoping to spoil things,
by finding the real item and taste it again.
I know that I will probably be let down,
and then go back to cooking the way I like to.

So, I think maybe this product is no longer made.
Probably was unsafe.

Safeway, Albertson's, Fred Meyer at least in the Portland area.

Yeah, know what you mean about food memories...they can really tug at
you. This time of year I always get a yen for the watermelon pickles my
Gramma used to serve. I know they came out of a jar, but I couldn't
for the life of me tell you who made the "good ones." Wondering what
your Gran's ethno/cultural roots were - might give us a hint as to the
kind of product she would have served. The Brits are big on pickling
onions..and a lot of their products are available on line...you might
try a Google search on "Crosse & Blackwell" or "Branson Pickles" ans
see if anything strikes a chord. If she was into preserves, the onions
could have been "home canned" and made from her own recipe and put into
jars.

To "oldcomputers"; they sound like the Aunt Nellie's brand of pickled
onions; they came in a jar. (BTW, you &I are the same age; my
grandmother always had those vile, nasty onions at Thanksgiving & at
Christmas; yuck). IF old Aunt Nellie is still making those disgusting
things, they should be with the other canned/jarred vegetables at the
grocery. I know that dear old Aunt Nellie is still making her disgusting
red cabbage & pickled beets. Carol
