My brother showed me an anime a few years ago where they translated "Neigi" to "leek" and I said to my brother thats not a correct translation, which means the translators were not that good. IT actually a big deal to mistake the two as the strength of them is different.

Leeks are used instead of onions because their milder in taste and flavour, and can be used in side dishes where onions would overpower the taste. Many of their alternatives, however, can't be because they break down too easy and become slime-like, thus have to cook them a little longer sometimes and are used more in dishes when blending of tastes are required I believe, as Leeks don't blend in their tastes as well and onions once again do but overpower. Some people such as myself actually like the overpowering taste of onions though so I tend to use them, particularly if I'm cooking beef or pork. I don't tend to use them with Chicken as its not a good taste.
