A blooming onion, onion bloom, onion blossom, or onion 'mum is a dish consisting of one large onion which is cut to resemble a flower, battered, and deep-fried. It is served as an appetizer at some restaurants. ==History== The dish was popularized in the United States when it appeared as "Bloomin' Onion", a charter feature of the Outback Steakhouse when that national chain opened in 1988. It remains prominent on its menu. The owners of Scotty's Steak House in Springfield, New Jersey claim to have invented the dish in the 1970s. Its popularity has led to its adoption as an appetizer at various other restaurant chains, most notably Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon, where it is known as the "Texas Rose". It is usually served with a restaurant-specific signature dipping sauce. Despite the implied association with Australian cuisine due to Outback Steakhouse's branding, the dish is almost unknown in Australia (much like the Outback Steakhouse chain itself) and rarely served outside of the United States. The dish, under the name Awesome Blossom, was also a very popular part of the Chili's menu, at least in the UK, until it was removed in 2001, possibly for health reasons cited below. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blooming onion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
