They sure are good raw though in things like potato salad or in a
sandwich: Cheddar, a little mayo, HP sauce and red onion.... with a
beer.

I would agree with that.

Not here. They are a rare and  exotic import and priced as such.

 ML> (3) "Vidalia onion" means all onions of the Vidalia onion

Aha! My rip off onions were some variety of white onion. I WAS had.
I wish the old fashioned Bermudas were still grown commercially.
They were wonderful.
