New Disease discovered at Shakespeare's Pizza

You have heard of Ring Worm and Ring Rot.  Well here at Shakespeare's Pizza a five year old kid, named Kiddo Littlemouth, was playing with his dough ball when he looked up and discovered an employee with an scary red ring around her face.  When asked what was wrong with her face she sadly looked at him and told him "its the onions kid, just the onions." 

What causes an onion to act as a tear-gas bomb? Well let me give you the details.  "There are juices and chemicals inside the onion's tissues; when your knife breaks the onion's cells a certain compound becomes airborne as a fine mist. This compound is called propanethial-S-oxide, which is a type of sulfoxide. When the misty droplets encounter a wet surface (your eyes or nose membranes) it dissolves into a form of sulfuric acid, which is understandably irritating to your sensitive organs."

Now that you have had the scientific explanation of crying over onions here at Shakespeare's Pizza we find using goggles the most effective method of containing those tears.  Rachael (pic) demonstrates the fine use of this wonderful gadget.  So next time you come to Shakespeare's Pizza look for the "Ring Face" and don't be scared.

   

Ring Face at it's worst.

OK, but what was wrong with using the mighty Hobart we used to cut the pepperoni and shred the cheese with? seems I remember I could do 5 gallons of (white) onions in about two minutes, with very little time to tear up. think of the triceps one could acquire with the slicer for Canadian Bacon.......

by the way, the only IMPROVEMENT in Shakespeare's Pizza in the last 25 years has been the move to red onions. that really makes a veggie for me. my 2¢ worth.

You know, they engineered a red onion that lacks the enzyme that makes you cry without altering the flavor of it....so, try it out!
