True dis.
Years ago, when I was a rookie in the ways of the South. Driving through southern GAGA coming back from a vacay in Fla. I saw a road sign... Vildalia Onions. This was Feb, but I had no clue. Pulled in and asked the guy, are these Vidalia onions.... WHY YES THEY ARE he replied. Got home and knew how sweet they would be, I sliced one and ate it... spit it out as it was burning my mouth and tongue. I realized they were indeed Vidalia onions, as I bought them in the town of Vidalia... but were winter onions that smacked you sideways.
