LOL. You are mean Triggs!!

I think Shallots are much nicer than onions in lots of recipes so use them frequently.

no not everything, just most of it :-)

I tend to put a mix of shallots and onions in most things as the onions round here don't have much flavour any more.

Are onions okay instead of shallots?

I have a recipe for chicken soup which uses shallots. Woulf it be okay to use onion instead? Also should I use red onion?
