Of course not!. Even us lowly cooks can say scallions-lol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
"Scallion" is actually the group name for many members of the onion family, including green onions, young leeks, and scallions themselves!. A green onion is a new onion harvested while its top is still green and its bulb small!. A scallion is younger than a green onion, and its white base (the part that would develop into a bulb) has straighter sides!. A baby onion is considered a scallion until its base (bulb) matures to about three-quarters of an inch, and then it's called a green onion!. "Spring onions" is another term for green onions and scallions, referring to immature plants that would grow to full size if left in the ground!. Although true scallions are a bit milder than green onions, the two can be used interchangeably in recipes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
of course not!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.
Scallion is just one of the many names for an immature onion picked before the bulb has formed!. It has a long, bright-green edible stalk with a distinctive sweet onion-flavour!. You might find it called anything from green onion to spring onion to shallot!.!.!.!.!.!.!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
