Stuffed Bermuda Onions

How long has it been since you've seen a recipe that called for Bermuda onions? Never, that's what I thought. This is from that old cook book of my moms, New American Cook Book, 1950.

Growing up we all loved canned salmon. Salmon patties with cream sauce, salmon casserole, salmon salad, anyway was fine with us. I made this a few days ago and tried them on my meat and potato nephew. He actually really liked them.

These are really good and very economical.
