Wow, GREAT question. Lydia!! I'm guessing ginger.

But now that I think about it, it might be onions.

My gut reaction is onions, but I'm sure that's affected by the volume I'm used to dealing with. I just picture the amount of fluid released when I'm grating (everything but the mayo--I've never grated mayo before ;) ) and onions *seem* like more.

I'm very curious for this one!

I think it is the onion. I am not sure that I could cook a savory dish without onions and garlic. My family loves anything with that flavor profile, especially if they are caramelized.

I go with onion too. Though I did consider ginger.. interested to find out!

Totally a guess, but I'm going to say ginger.

Onion, off course, ginger has a bit less water than onions.

1. onion
2. ginger
3. garlic
4. mayonnaise

I guess

I have had some experience with grating an onion and was completely blown away at how much water in in them.
My vote is the onion.

Ginger!!!?!?

I'm guessing onions, and I have all of them on hand.

I'm thinking onion as well. We all know how long it can take to caramelize them because of the liquid in them. ;-)

I agree with onion (all those tears!), but I'm surprised how much liquid comes from ginger when I grate it (but not with the microplane -- would that effect taste). Now, how about potatoes?

Onion?

My said it was the onion. I say it's the mayonnaise.

I think it is ginger. I juice it and put it in my water for the day....a lot comes out of those little nubs!

Tough one - ginger or onion.....onion wins because of its higher weight to volume ratio. I think.

I am going to guess it is the onion.
