FFS Stop putting garlic in my food!

[singlecoil]

My wife and I both detest garlic, but we have no objection to other people having as much of it as they want, as long as they don't come within a few feet of us.

But it's got to the point where we can more or less assume that any savoury prepared food is going to be honking of the stuff. I picked up a packet of breaded fish in a supermarket today and I could smell it through the wrapping.

Anybody else not like the stuff or is it just us?

[Silvanus]

I love the stuff, I put it in pretty much everything. Wild garlic, fresh cloves, paste, smoked, black, powered, garlic salt, oh yes.

[The Rotrex Kid]

Sorry OP, bloody love the stuff. Have it fresh, powdered, paste all on standby to mix into everything

[Steve H]

It’s not just you. TBH I don’t really object to it but certainly don’t bother using it myself or feel that it adds anything good to a meal when it is there.

[CharlesdeGaulle]

I love garlic but respect that others may not. Regardless, I think you being able to smell it through the packaging of fish makes you akin to a police tracker dog.

[Rumblestripe]

Do you also have an aversion to crucifixes and daylight?

Careful when you order your stake...

[Caddyshack]

I love a bit of garlic and it’s supposed to be very good for you.

[okgo]

You sound a bit odd.

[S100HP]

It's just you. No such thing as too much garlic. The recipe calls for two cloves? Have 4 just to be on the safe side.

[Hoofy]

Garlic and onion. If I'm in the mood, fine, but I'm often not in the mood and it seems like a lazy way of making something taste more interesting.

And take a look in the mirror and let us know

My sense of smell is by and large quite poor.

Roasted some wet garlic today, lovely.

[Arrivalist]

Garlic is the food of the gods.

Dad?!

I didn’t try it until I left home due to meat and two veg parents. Making up for lost years of garlic and chilli as an adult though!

[Doofus]

I eat wild garlic sandwiches on occasion.

It's not unknown for me to go into the office and get told off the moment I walk through the door for having eaten too much garlic the previous evening, even though that isn't actually possible.

[ambuletz]

garlic is a base aromatic for almost all foods. OP in the minority here.

love garlic. If I'm following any recipe online that calls for garlic I will at very least double the amoung as it's never enough.

If i'm making a curry ill use fine/frozen garlic for cooking, then chuck in a bunch of freshly rougly chopped garlic in the last 5min. sometimes even leaving a whole or half a bulb. love chomping on a chunk of it.

[Stick Legs]

OP is not on his own, garlic gives me the most tremendous heartburn and it is becoming far more prevalent in things that are normally not expected to be garlicky.

[Brianstorm]

Don't buy packets of egg fried rice from the supermarkets as they all have a strong garlic taste to them. Why they put garlic in efr i can't imagine, they never do at the chinese, at least not round here.

[Wacky Racer]

I don't mind it.

Many years ago, we went on a coach tour of the Isle of Wight, and passed a garlic field about a mile away, it stunk the coach out.
