/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Hey /ck/, let's have a thread on what ingredients we least like working with and say why, that way other people can offer suggestions on how to handle them or replacement suggestions.

Personally I think garlic is just vile and I can't see how anyone can stand it. Just literally everything about it.

Hey /ck/ is it weird that I don't like garlic at all? Like, I don't even want it used in anything I eat even if i can't taste it, it's so totally gross! And it stinks too!

What's with this garlic fad? Ever since these waves of unwashed eye-talians kept washing up on our shores, staining the alabaster purity of our great non-Catholic nation, sinful theatre folk and other types of wretched entertainers have been enticing the young folk to eat this stinking demon-fruit with their lascivious melodies played on none other but the German fiddle itself!

In my youth we safely quenched our xenophilia by consuming the pounded flesh of the bitter acorn, soaked in hot water and consumed as hot as we dared. The red man having been driven far west, our fathers knew we could not be enticed to follow their pemmicen-chewing, tobacko-smoking ways. But with these infernal brown Mediterranean folk everywhere, our youngest shall not remain unraped by these noxious Catholic ground-nuts for long.

Anyone else love garlic?

I just had scrambled eggs. Six eggs, lots of butter, and half a whole large bulb of garlic (as in the lump of several cloves - i had half of this or about 8-10 cloves of garlic)

Sometimes I'll eat a clove raw.

I love the taste, but even more I love stinking of it afterwards. I love smelling my hands and getting the whiff of garlic

Is there a garlic general thread? Because there needs to be.

I just received at least 20 dozen bushels of garlic heads from a friends farm and I need some suggestions on what to do with all this shit.

i don't lurk a lot, /ck/ approves of garlic yes?

I've completely eliminated the Allium family (garlic, onion, leeks, etc) from my diet. I rarely eat meat. I'm wondering if this gives me a free pass to not use any sort of deodorant. Would your body naturally stop smelling bad with this sort of diet?

Why hasn't this technology stormed markets and restaurants around the world?

There is nothing which is not improved by the addition of garlic. Especially garlic itself.

Why is garlic so good?
I will eat garlic with anything. I'm having salmon? Let's add some garlic and butter. Toast? Let's add some garlic. Potato salad? More garlic.

I love exhaling and still smelling the garlic lingering. I love smelling my hands, even when waking up in the morning, and getting a whiff of garlic.

What are some good garlic recipes?

Hey /ck/ I have a probably retarded question. A clove of garlic refers to an individual segment while a bulb is the whole thing right?

Whats the best way to chop garlic?

Every time I do it, its so sticky and its a fucking bitch to do.

Sup /ck/ i'm not much of a poster here but I do enjoy cooking home made meals. I was making an Italian soup last week which involved mincing some Garlic. I've washed my hands 50+ times since last week and they still smell like Garlic. Any ideas how to get rid of the smell. I'm using gloves for now on haha.
