Slicing Onions: Does Direction Make a Difference?

Posted by overw8, January 23, 2009

A commenter on SimplyRecipes' blog on caramelizing onions said "It's nice to see that other people recognize the classic way to cut onions for caramelization" - i.e., pole to pole as opposed to rings.

Is this just a style/presentation thing, or does the direction of slicing affect the cooking or taste of a given recipe?
