Actually Enema,
A green onion is a new onion harvested while its top is still green and its bulb small. A scallion is younger than a green onion, and its white base (the part that would develop into a bulb) has straighter sides. A baby onion is considered a scallion until its base (bulb) matures to about three-quarters of an inch, and then it's called a green onion. "Spring onions" is another term for green onions and scallions, referring to immature plants that would grow to full size if left in the ground. Although true scallions are a bit milder than green onions, the two can be used interchangeably in recipes.

Green Onion, Scallions, and Spring Onion are all considered to be the same thing, what you call it normally depends on the part of the country you are from.

Check it out yourself. Green onions and scallions are the same thing here in the good ol' USA. The terms are used interchangeably here.

Thanks everyone. I'll have to check out scallions. Do they come pre-chopped?

You can find them in your regular grocery store. Just ask the man in the produce department and he'll find them for you. Unless it's a fill-in vegetable man that day....then you might have to find them on your own.

I thought scallions were green onions.
You could try leeks as a substitute. The flavor isn't the same but I think it is similar.

Scallions would be a great substitute. Better safe than sorry!

I love green onions, but won't touch them after what happened in NJ. But I didn't think Mexican food can be made with out them. I love to make Mexican Mac and chesse sprinkled with green onions. Does anyone have any substitution ideas?
