Yeah - the Revolutionary War was all about something like that.

836638 2009-12-06 06:29:00 Why? Because most people with a decent sense of taste know how much it enhances food .

I suppose your idea of gourmet food is overcooked boiled brisket and peas with instant Bisto gravy . . . Or when you're feeling really flash then do you put on your best suit and go to Macdonalds?

What a load of tosh it does nothing for the food except disguise the taste . I never go to Macshi& ever and nothing is ever overcooked in this house I have a step son who is an excellent cook and I like to think I am too . Garlic pooh no wonder the French/ Italians etc have to wear all that perfume to hide the garlic smell

C'mon, Gary - it is a matter of taste .

This is exactly why they make all those different paint colors too .

I like garlic - but it has no place in my oatmeal . It DOES go with every meat and the only national group that typically doesn't use garlic in their foods is the Americans .

You wouldn't want to be associated with THAT group - would you?

What about the Greeks - they probably use as much or more garlic than the French or Italians, but they have no perfume industry. Same goes for most Far Eastern countries. So you're talking through the wrong orifice.

I suppose you don't eat onions or shallots either? They're both in the same family of bulb vegetables. And in your determination not to appreciate what fine flavours they have, you're evidently unaware of the health benefits of these foods.

And you call yourself a good cook? In your case it probably means you know how to use a can opener.

836641 2009-12-06 18:48:00 PS...

For your enlightenment Gary -

1. I'm an enthusiastic cook, and I've seldom come across a recipe for a savoury dish that doesn't include Garlic.

2. I eat out whenever I can, and any decent restaurant will usually make a lot of use of garlic.

3. Look at recipes from the world's top chefs, including those great chefs you see on TV - they all use garlic

4. If you and your partner and or party of people are eating the same meals with garlic, I can almost guarantee none of you will notice the odour of the garlic.

5.. There are several herbs which help neutralise the aroma of garlic on your breath from the food, eg parsley, basil, mint, chives etc.
