Ha. I don't put garlic in everything, but if something calls for garlic, it calls for a lot of garlic! Mmm mmm good. It facilitates social distancing and I have yet to encounter a vampire.

Garlic is one of the things you never follow a recipe for amounts of. It's based on what your soul tells you is enough, and there usually isn't any such thing as too much. |

If you enjoy garlic, you might also enjoy Mel Blanc's Documentary movie "Garlic is as Good as Ten Mothers". The title is taken from an old Chinese proverb. The movie is abut the use of garlic around the world. Quite interesting. Made around 1978 or 1979.

If it says 2 cloves, I see 2 tablespoons. We buy minced garlic by the quart. |

 , I like to watch Kevin cook too. Like the rest of the posters, I'm heavy handed when it comes to garlic. We're growing our own, for the first time, this year. Those little jars just don't last around here.

I bought processed garlic in the past, but I have yet to find one that has the "punch" that fresh garlic delivers. Better option than none though if fresh garlic is scarce. Bell pepper, onions, and garlic are the heavenly trio in a skillet! |

When I lived near Gilroy, a friend of mine was tasked with providing a bid for a metal building for Christopher Ranch garlic.
The people at that company learned that fresh garlic stored in an airtight building charged with gas retarded the natural growth of mold that naturally takes place after garlic is harvested.
They built the buildings, and warehoused a lot of garlic, but when the crops were between the harvest of California and Mexico, the buildings were aired out and the product released when prices had spiked, realizing a tidy price for Christopher ranch!
Others caught on and that genie was out of the bottle, but we all win as the competition levels that playing field.

Louisiana style -- New Orleans is a dangerous place. My experience is that you can eat to your death there.

A while back there was a documentary on Netflix about garlic that was not kind to Christopher Ranch and Big Garlic. It caused some controversy. I didn't look into the issue, so I don’t know where the truth lies. The whole series was kind of muckrake-y. My garlic consumption continues unabated. |

I never questioned my garlic before, now I have to look at it before I buy it. Tell me again why we even buy crap from China? Wild garlic and wild onions grow great here. Maybe someone local grows it. |

Yeah, my wife bought prepared Chinese garlic from a store....dollar tree or such.
It sucked and had a chemical taste, went to the garbage can.

Maybe someone local grows it. I've grown it in New England. It's pretty pest-free and easy. I haven't bothered taking up space with it since, but I do keep a patch of chives and some spring onions in the herb area. Easy peasy. And I buy the minced garlic in big vats. There are worse things to worry about in our food supply. |

It's like the people we put in charge of these things can't be trusted. |
