Should people who put too much garlic in food be jailed?

[prolesunited]

Is there such a thing as too much garlic?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. It's impossible to put in too much garlic, so that crime can never

be committed.

[dolo amber]

9. Erm...actually Rabrrrrrr...

I love garlic as much as the next person, but when you have a sister whose cooking is really nothing BUT garlic and cheese (with traces of other ingredients added in as 'flavoring'...chicken, veggies, whatever) I'm afraid your theory is incorrect.

It's actually painful. x(

[Susang]

15. I have an aunt who's stomach is "sensitive" to garlic

Sensitive in the way that Hedges'stomach is sensitive, if you get my drift. ;-)

So yes, there is such a thing as too much garlic, particularly if you are in close quarters. :o

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. I still disagree! Any recipe that calls for garlic

can use HEADS of it.

:-)

Of course, some things that don't call for garlic, like jell-o, orange juice, and cake frosting, CAN have too much garlic.

But anything that can take a smidgen of garlic can take entire bulbs of garlic.

In my opinion.

There's a great restaurant in LA that is all garlic based food, with the motto "We season our garlic with food". It's WONDERFFUL!!!!!!

[DS1]

21. I do

I've put more than one head of garlic in dishes before, all chopped up and quickly roasted.

Best dish I've made in months!

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. I like to roast a whole head just to put on a sandwich

YUM!

[DS1]

25. I like to use a roasted and lightly buttered head of garlic to wash

down a Tic Tac

[tishaLA]

45. That restaurant in LA is The Stinking Rose

and you're right: it is wonderful.

[barb162]

2. nah, just flog them

[madrchsod]

3. pot is illegal then so should garlic

[prolesunited]

6. We should be allowed

some pleasure and joy in life.

[Zuni]

4. yes. I think so

[noonwitch]

5. They should be sainted and revered.

Garlic is tasty and good for you.

[barb162]

39. and it gets rid of vampires too.

[ProfessorGAC]

7. Not At Our House!

We use garlic in EVERYTHING except maybe ice cream. And, i've considered it!

My DOG will eat garlic off a spoon.

The plus side, however, is that it keeps vampires away. I've got proof. There hasn't been a single vampire sighting in my town since we moved in 26 years ago! So, how cool is that?

12. I've Seen Garlic Ice Cream

I forgot where, and I didn't try it, but it exists.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. Hmmmm!

I am most interested! I know i can put a half-teaspoon into a single glass of tomato juice and chew on the little pieces of crushed clove. I might like that.

19. I've eaten garlic ice cream

At some exotic ice-creamery in Los Angeles. It was GOOOOOOD. Kind of buttery tasting.

[smirkymonkey]

40. Gilroy, CA Garlic Festival.

They have garlic EVERYTHING!

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. No, the absence of vampires is because every day I shout out the window

"Vampires be gone from this country!"

I started doing that when I was a child in the 70s.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. Oh. I Didn't Know That

Well that explains it completely. Here and i thought it was our garlic.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

38. One of the vendors at the green markets around the city

Sells a Garlic Jelly.

Tried some once. Won't ever again.

And I loooooove garlic.

[DemNoir]

8. I Learn something everyday here

It is possible to put too much garlic in food? I didn't think that was possible.

[barb162]

16. yes it is possible...when people start backing away

[Beetwasher]

10. People Who DON'T Cook W/ Garlic Need To Be Reprogrammed

n/t

[Brewman_Jax]

11. Too much garlic? No such thing!

there's Camp X-ray for those un-American garlic haters! :sarcasm:

:rofl:

[Beware the Beast Man]

14. Absolutely not!

I have the good fortune of marrying a fellow garlic lover.

[wideopen]

18. If you can't taste it the next morning

you didn't use enough.

[da_chimperor]

23. We should erect monuments declaring their greatness to the world

Duh! :silly:

[TX-RAT]

24. NO, those that use too much onion should be jailed.

[chenGOD]

29. Onion is very good at clearing grease out of your system...

which is why a lot of chinese food has a lot of onion. Garlic has many of the same properties. Remember though, garlic is best raw.

[BiggJawn]

44. Ah! THAT explains the curative effect of White Castles!

[Rabrrrrrr]

41. It's impossible to use too much onion

:shrug:

How can you cook without shitloads of onion? What's the point of eating without onions or garlic? Oh, sure, I can see not using onions and garlic if you're using shallots and leeks... but to cook without onions?

AGHAST!!! I am AGHAST!

[texas1928]

26. Yes

Anything more than a half a teaspoon in a dish and you can not live with me. I have gas so bad it hurts.

[prolesunited]

32. Well, I don't think I'll have to worry about living with you

Blue-Jay and I both love garlic and plan to fart together happily ever after. :P

[texas1928]

35. That is ok.

I like garlic but it don't like me. I don't know why. You and Blue jay have fun.

[prolesunited]

43. Thanks for the good wishes

:hi:

[BikeWriter]

27. Too much garlic? No such thing!

[Rob H.]

30. Can I vote we give them medals instead?

:P

[Xipe Totec]

31. Just stay out of my hurl radius and you'll be fine n/t

[prolesunited]

33. Garlic makes you vomit?

:shrug:

[Xipe Totec]

34. No, I love it!

It makes those who can't stand garlic hurl when they get too close to me.

[RandomKoolzip]

36. Depends on the food.

I personally can't get enough garlic in my ice cream.

On pizza, though? Uh...yuck.

[MrScorpio]

37. What are you, some kind of Vampire?

GET OUT!!!!

[BiggJawn]

42. Too much Garlic?

Please, what is this "Too much Garlic" thing?

There's No Garlic, then "I taste a little Garlic" next "Mmmmm...Grarlic add so much to good food" all the way to "Mama Mia! That'sa nice-a GARLIC!!"

Garlic is essential to good health.

46. ***UPDATE*** for anyone interested.

proles cooked veggie spaghetti last night, and seems to be suffering the ill effects of her overuse of garlic.

Note: I didn't do it.

Note2: It was delicious.
