Blooming onion

Enquanto esperavamos a mesa no Outback Steakhouse Ibirapuera ganhamos duas porções da blooming onion, que segundo a Wikipedia ... onion blossom, or onion 'mum is a food dish consisting of one large fried vidalia onion which is cut to resemble a flower. It is served as an appetizer at some restaurants. The name of the dish comes from its menu name at Outback Steakhouse ("Bloomin' Onion"), which claims to be the dish's inventor. The dish was a charter feature of the restaurant chain when it opened in 1988, and is still a favorite.
