Saturday Night Live’s Punkie Johnson has revealed an intriguing aspect of her food preferences that involves a significant quantity of onions. In a recent episode of the Best Friends podcast, hosted by Nicole Byer and Sasheer Zamata, the comedian confessed that she consumes one to two onions daily. The discussion revolved around Johnson’s friendship with fellow comedian Dicey, who shared her annoyance with Johnson’s onion-eating habit, noting that it invariably leads to onion-scented breath. Johnson acknowledged her affinity for onions during the episode, admitting that she has read about their supposed benefits for the heart, prompting her to incorporate them into various dishes she prepares, such as spaghetti sauce and jambalaya. Furthermore, she even enjoys sautéing onions as a midnight snack, relishing them as sautéed onion rings dipped in ketchup. However, she’s well aware of the consequences for her breath. Johnson’s culinary idiosyncrasies are not limited to onions alone. In an interview with the Grub Street Diet column, she disclosed her regular Sunday morning ritual of indulging in a Taco Bell Mexican Pizza, with extra Mexican-pizza sauce, onions, and chicken instead of beef. The inclusion of extra onions in her order completes her satisfying meal. If you want to know more about Johnson’s food preferences and experiences, you can listen to the full episode below.
