Has anyone else noticed or is it just me

Tesco's seem to be putting Onion in everything, even things that other supermarkets don't put it in.

Sausage rolls, Ready meal Rice and today I opened my Pate and it stinks of onion, I like a bit of onion in some things don't get me wrong but the smell of this pate is horrible, and the sausage rolls stink as well, Sainsbury's, M&S, Waitrose, Morrison's all don't have any onion in their Sausage rolls or Pate

Some others may like onion, if you don't like it, shop elsewhere, the choice is yours.
I tend not to buy processed meals, then I put in my meals exactly like I want. I hate mixed salad with sweetcorn in it so I make my own salads up and leave it out.

Its the same with Cheese. I can't eat cheese due to migraines and a lot of their foods come with cheese, makes me mad.

I don't like onion at all,and it really annoys me that pies etc always seem to have it in. Strange to have it in sausage rolls. Surely they should rename things and say - sausage and onion rolls.

A few years ago, all the supermarkets at the same time decided to change the Cheese and Coleslaw sandwiches to Cheese and Onion. I actually wrote and complained about this... Got a nice letter back from Safeway about it saying that they'd review the situation at the next product meeting (I knew that they wouldn't but it was nice to be told that), Somerfield just replied saying that it was done as part of their 'current rebranding' (which I believe is still being undertaken), and Tesco just ignored me.

(as another aside, when I started at Safeway, we were told the two golden rules of retail: 1: The customer is always right; 2: when the customer is wrong, see rule 1. I know it's belated, but RIP Safeway...)

I actually get upset when there isn't enough onions in something I buy which is supposed to have onions in it. My favorite type of onion to have in a food product is the red onions and not the other type of onions.
