What are Onion Rings?
Onions rings are round slices of Americana, (but also popular in the UK, Canada and Malaysia) which rose in popularity with the wave of burger joints and diners, and then with the many fast food restaurants that still serve them. Though there is no clear date on when these crunchy fried and high fat savory rings first appeared, there is evidence people cooked them as far back as the 1930s, with recipes appearing in ads for Crisco in a magazine.
