I believed that the green part of the small onion(chive)was poisonous.My parents told me that so that I would quit eating them. Unfortunately, I never questioned them about this and did not find out the truth until a few years ago at a family dinner. I was making a salad and was trying to figure out how high up I could cut the onions. I thought my mother was going to die laughing! Needless to say I felt like an idiot and everyone got a good laugh.
