Topic: Garlic Posted: December 18 2010 at 22:22 |
Fairly simple poll - how much do you like garlic? Myself, I'd say I'm in the "I eat garlicy foods regularly" category, because I don't regularly eat the cloves right off the head (though I do on occasion). Idea for the poll comes from the bagna cauda I ate earlier - we don't make it too often here (mom hates it) but when we do it's always good and full of garlic. This time, dad added extra garlic (and it's already got a lot) - seven full heads of garlic! Mmm...couple that with the anchovies, oil, butter and (in our version) tuna and sardines and you've got an incredibly delicious dish which will keep people away from you for weeks.

Garlic is one of the essential food groups. If a recipe calls for it, I don't hold back on it. Granted you can go overboard.

I absolutely love garlic with pretty much anything - never eaten it plain cloves, though.

The scent of garlic lingers on my chocolate fingers.

I eat raw garlic with salt regularly, just because I like it, so I voted the last option. You'd better stay away from me when I'm in garlic mood

I love garlic, I'm occasionally using it, and I don't mind the smell. I don't know why are people so repulsive if someone's breath is garlicky; there are much worse odours around. Besides, it's healthy (or I like to believe it so).

By the way, elephant garlic isn't proper garlic.

It's that correct dosage of garlic which counts. It's all about judgement. It's the best of times and the worse of times. Good grief. After cleaning out the inside of a chicken, how much salt do you normally toss into the chicken? Is everyone seated at the dinner table consulted? Seriously, you can destroy a great meat dish with garlic. It's a tough call and sometimes I find my hand wanting to sprinkle a another dosage of garlic for good measure. It can become a disaster if you are improvising with a meal. Be careful.

It has its place, but I'm not a huge fan.

Without garlic, food is boring!!! As far as I'm concerned it's good in almost everything, even omelets!
