What is a Red Torpedo Onion you ask?  www.wisegeek.com says:The red torpedo onion is an heirloom onion native to Calabria, Italy, where it has been cultivated since before the birth of Christ. This onion has a long history for a reason: it has an incomparable flavor which has made it enduringly popular in the Mediterranean. These onions can be found for sale in some specialty markets, and they can also be cultivated in the home garden, although some people believe that the famed onions of Torpea, a town in Calabria, have the best flavor.
