Do you like/use garlic?

[demgurl]

I love garlic and eat it every chance I get. I think it may be my most used spice. Thankfully hubby likes it as well. Do you all like garlic?

1. On almost everything....

....except ice cream and I believe one poster here uses it on that (with olive oil and oregano).....

2. When I lived in the Middle East, pickled garlic was one of the

group of pickled foods available to accompany meals. They were popular in the small villages and less popular among the westernized urban population. My ex-husband's uncle used to gather his children around the table once a month and have them polish off a jar of pickled garlic. He told me that pickled garlic had good medicinal qualities and that his children had never had worms because he dosed them regularly with pickled garlic. Now this was in addition to all the other garlic served in stews and other forms they consumed.


LOL!

4. I'd put garlic in jello if people didn't think I was weird

Garlic is its own food group

Garlic is the staff of life. Bread is merely its accompaniment.

5. Garlic panna cotta

is a hugh(!) favorite. Gotta love garlic to love garlic pudding. I couldn't make a meal without it.

6. One can never use too much garlic

when cooking.

8. No such thing as too much

1) garlic
2) chocolate
3) shrooms
4) maters

7. I do, but Mr. Ketchup.... not so much

so I use it sparingly and only in some dishes. on the bright side, it's expanded my spice horizons a lot by trying different stuff to get the flavor in a dish

10. Mr. Ketchup is adored muchly by my

little 3 yr old granddaughter who would put it on ice cream if her mommy would let her. I just introduced her to salsa so now she dips her quesadillas in salsa instead of ketchup. That child is a serious eater. She's the queen of the 3 hour lunch. Told my daughter she's going to have to work on that before that child gets to kindergarten and has a real tight schedule.

11. Mr. Ketchup is our nickname for my DH, thanks to this post

be sure to read my OP & response. Voila, Mr. K is born (he now calls himself "Ketchup Guy"

:rofl:

12. Sorry, I missed that one. I'm

chagrined, AZ.

:blush:

I just assumed you meant the condiment. But our little Miss truly adores her ketchup.

13. no worries Skid, it was a million years ago when C&B was about

6-8 regular posters

it's great nowadays with all the different input

:hug:

as for the ketchup and the kidlet, watch out for HFCS in there. maybe wean her off to tomato sauce instead of the sugar laden ketchup?

9. I'm rediscovering garlic after having had to avoid it for 25 years

while I was nursing. There was only so much peppermint I could chew during a 12 hour shift without gagging, and I didn't want the postop patients to barf on me.

Garlic is lovely stuff, though.

[demgurl]

14. Warpy, you scared me there for a moment.

When you said 25 years of nursing, I was wondering how many children you had!!! :rofl: I finally realized what you meant when I continued to read the rest of your post.

[Duer 157099]

16. LOL, me too

Except I was wondering why you would nurse for 25 years. I mean, I've heard of some moms who nurse up to age 3 or so, .. but 25???

LOL. Seems like "we're" the warpy ones.

[eleny]

18. Me three!

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

15. In most things, yep

I can't help it...I get pre-peeled cloves for about $1.30...dozens of em...I put it in everything...as well as onions and green peppers... :9

[demgurl]

19. bicentennial ...

you can't just put out a price like that without telling us how you are doing that. Inquiring minds want to know.

[bicentennial_baby]

21. It's where I get my produce

Lamberts in Dorchester, MA...I get a tub of 2-3 dozen cloves for about $1.30 :)

[cmf]

17. I pretty much put it in everything

Except breakfast!

[demgurl]

20. They are great with breakfast.

Cook up some hashbrowns and add-in garlic. Delicious.

[grasswire]

22. not all the time, not in everything

I think it's raw garlic that I really keep a lid on. I've been to restaurants where the bite of the raw garlic is so strong that I can't eat the food. For example, I think a mess of hummus only needs a half clove of garlic, otherwise the other flavors are missed. And I heartily object to garlic in certain foods such as potato salad or turkey gravy. Grrrrr!
