Scallion

Scallion, green onion, and spring onion are English names (with many other regional names throughout the world) for various Allium species. All of the Allium have hollow green leaves (like the common onion), but these are used while they lack a fully developed root bulb. Used as a vegetable, they are eaten either raw or cooked. Scallions have a milder taste than most onions.

Etymology

The words scallion and shallot are related and can be traced back to the Greek ασκολόνιον ('askolonion') as described by the Greek writer Theophrastus. This name, in turn, seems to originate from the name of the town of Ashkelon. The plant itself apparently came from farther east of Europe.

Types

Species and cultivars which may be called "scallions" include:

  • A. cepa
    • "White Lisbon"
    • "White Lisbon Winter Hardy"—an extra-hardy variety for overwintering
    • Calçot
  • "White Lisbon"
  • "White Lisbon Winter Hardy"—an extra-hardy variety for overwintering
  • Calçot
  • A. cepa var. cepa—Most of the cultivars grown in the West primarily as scallions belong to this variety. However, the "scallions" from A. cepa var. cepa {common onion) is from a young plant, harvested before bulbs form, or sometimes when slight bulbing has occurred.

    Vile Ritual

    by: Zyklon

    Recite the unspoken
    A manifest of the Great Self
    A solid faith in what you can accomplish
    A supreme vision of capability
    An arcane text
    Describing an outrageous test
    Too bold the modern ones would say
    You can always pray
    A vile ritual bleeding
    Like a spear of hate
    Almost like the predator's feeding
    Consolidating every man's fate
    Oh venerable ancestors
    Please grant me with my pagan fest
    I'm equal to my human contester
    May it be a fight for all the best
    Would the few of us ever accept
    A moral that is slightly trite?
    A sun that never sets is still being bright
    Small pieces of heathen soil can make any man's blood boil
    A violation of anything supreme has come into regularity in any scene
    Never condone the residue of human scald
    Boiling in water that is still cold
    A modern day heresy it would be in fact
