Great food drama in Spain.
The town council of Betanzos, known as the 'tortilla capital', has banned recipes which include onion in the annual election of the best tortilla.
It has inflamed a furious split between concebollistas and sincebollistas. Schism looms.

"I will curse Betanzos with ardor and constancy, every day of my life.
I have always been tolerant and never insulted any ignorant and bland sincebollista, no matter how stupid his ridiculous attitude. My broad tolerance ends today...
Do they want war? They will have war!"

"This is the last straw. I come out of the closet and declare myself a radical concebollista! I hope those who made this decision choke on their dry onionless tortillas!"
"This idea that tortilla with onion is more juicy is a monkish lie told by stingy people to use fewer eggs. You have to be considerate with concebollista family and friends, if I have to make two tortillas and there are some of those perverts in the group, I make one with onions"
"The concebollistas consider this decision a coup d'etat, and prepare for the counterattack.
In years to come history books will mark this moment as the start of the Third World War."

"I wouldn't eat the tortilla in the photo unless under threat of death and perhaps not even then... In Zamora I ate a leche frita which could be used to construct buildings and in Cuenca a dry and hard tortilla of boiled potatoes and I thought I'd seen the worst until this photo"
This commenter views onion in tortilla like Catholic traditionalists see Vatican II: a misguided innovation of the 1960s.
"Finally, good news. The battle to exile onion from the ideal combination of eggs and potatoes has taken part of my long life...
My childhood was happy."

Foreigners haven't piled on like this since 1936
Seriously
