Culinary tearjerker (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

onion

'culinary tearjerker' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for onion that I've seen before include "Alliaceous plant" , "Cause of tears" , "Tear-jerking bulb" , "One may be set" , "Type of allium" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Universal.
