Garlic

Garlic mayo, yum. Improves many things. Moules & Frites are impossible without it.

You sicko, how could you do that to garlic!?

Garlic bread – it’s the future, I’ve tasted it.

I went to a sauna once and a funny little old bloke came in and proceeded to clear the entire health suite with his 2nd-hand garlicky sweat. More rank than a taxi from a cinema to Xerox HQ, I can tell you.

thanks for sharing mate!!!

 

[hotmetal]

Yes, sorry, it's seared on my mind even though it must have been at least 7 years ago. I won't even mention his hideous bathing shorts… I never went there again after that!

BTW, this lump of stainless steel is fun to use on the raw material...

I stirred a couple of crushed cloves into my mash tonight thanks to this thread

And we had paella, with extra garlic

Garlic bread – it’s the future, I’ve tasted it.

What? Garlic bread? Garlic bread? Garlic? Bread? Am I hearin' you right? 'Garlic bread'?

My pee smells of it. Just thought you all should know.

Indeed. This chap consumed vast amounts of garlic, claiming it to be more effective than anaesthetic.

I had a colleague like that thirty years ago. Your colleague, I think, made the same mistakes as my colleague Raymond.

Mistake number one - mistaking cloves of garlic with oil of cloves, a known analgesic and home remedy for dental pain.

Mistake number two - confusing heads of garlic with cloves of garlic - Raymond had eaten two heads of garlic and not two cloves as advised by someone else who had made mistake number one.

Raymond could be detected thirty paces away and his pathways through a vast warehouse could be followed even when wearing a gas mask.

Now I think of it this was the same traffic controller who used to have his eyeballs popped out and scraped every few months, possibly (if memory serves) also without anaesthetic.

You were having your leg pulled here.

Love it and it goes in most things I cook. I'm also very fond of Ramsons or Wild Garlic...

It's the long fresh leaves you steam and eat and were I believe introduced by the Normans. The white flowers are a very common sight in spring through to early summer. This plant is in among some Mercury with the more oval leaves, which you don't want to pick to eat...

Another one that has a garlic tasting leaf is Jack by the Hedge...or Garlic Mustard...no relation but very nice again when the leaves are young.

What about smoked garlic anyone?

 

[Rezillo]

This is delicious and extremely easy to make. It has become a regular item in the Rezillo culinary repertoire - note it has the contents of a bulb of garlic, not a clove. Even better with two bulbs!

The wild garlic makes me think of a chinese vegetable- the Chinese chive, it's a combination of spring onion/chive and gralic in it's taste- love it!

Well, for us, Mediterranean people, garlic-parsley-olive-oil is the trio present in almost every single recipe.. Love it!

Marshmallow Fluff, you forgot onions
