Got some tulip bulbs, but not realy into planting them. Noticed they smell like onions. Can they be eaten or substituted as onions? Any suggested recipes?

yes tulip bulbs are edible but be careful, they could have a deadly fungus that grows on the decaying bulbs, and or a special chemicle that commercial growers use to prevent them from decaying…tulips are in the lily family and most plants in that family are edible, people do use them as an onion substitute but are not as tasty….I have read that in poor times they ate them raw, some cook them with veggies and some use them as salad toppings….some have also candied them and ate them….to be safe though, eat a very very small quantity first if no reaction then add more…

I would not eat the ones you have. Unless they labeled food quality or edible, they have probably been treated with some type of pestiside that would at best make you really sick, at worst – dead.
Since you are on Yahoo! – check out the freecycle Yahoo! group and see if there is a group local to you. Join it and post those bulbs. I sure there is a gardner that would love to have them….
