What did he mean by this?

How do I actually add this to my food? Do you use a crusher or something?

>>11833562
Peel the skin off and crush the garlic with your palm, then chop it finely. Saute or sweat it in some butter or olive oil, then add it into your food.

>>11833555
Only bongs and their even more degenerate colonial offshoots (Americans, Canadians and Australians) dislike garlic. Everyone else embraces it.

>>11833562
I just smash the cloves using the flat of the knife and my fist (which also gets the skin off), then chop it fine.

>>11833585
Americans love garlic. What the hell are you talking about?

Crush. Slice. Dice. Bake. Smash. Whatever you fancy, it can be done with garlic.

>>11833562
Fresh and crushed has potentially huge benefits to BP and levels of NO (when in diets with grams of vitamin C, though taken separately). … Also, this way has a very minimalistic "garlic-y" aspect, sometimes even blandly, but utilizing it as a chaser / combination ingredient is really entertaining (amongst cheeses, spices … ). … Of interest are varieties of garlic which are really flavorful when raw.

Cooked has the garlic-iness – especially great with onion and sunflower-lecithin soup, maybe slightly sweetened with stevia.

Do they at least use herbs? Mine never did.

>>11833585
Who said they disliked garlic retard?

>>11833753

Taken separately?

I used to take some supplements each morning, includig 1 raw garlic clove and swallow them with a glass of orange juice. Is that bad?

>>11833585
I'm a bong and I can't think of a single savoury dish that wouldn't be improved by garlic

My hands permanently stink of onions and garlic from always using both in almost everything. It's a price I'm willing to take.

Except redditors love garlic unlike anything else

>>11833585
It seems strange that Italians have a reputation for being garlic lovers but when you watch Lidia Bastianich she rarely adds chopped garlic to anything she just puts in 1 or 2 cloves and removes them prior to serving. Batali does it similarly and in fact I've heard him ridicule Emeril for overusing it.

>>11834232
Those are TV shows anon not true italian grandmothers

>>11834232
Batali's kind of a ponce, though

>>11834224
How would you know? Are you one of them? Don't fucking reply to me

The dynamic duo

>>11834275
I disagree, I very often notice one flavor will overpower the other. There is nothing wrong with using both in a dish, but I wouldn't call them a dynamic duo.

>>11834260
Molto Mario was goat and I learned a lot about italian cooking from it. But like Alton Brown when he got famous he was worthless.

>>11834275
bay leaf and garlic are a better duo than that

>>11834492
ginger has to be in the discussion

>>11833530
thank you based garlic

>>11833753
I make a garlic dip with lightly crushed and chopped garlic, fish sauce, and other random ingredients, like lime juice, fermented chili sauce, ginger, fermented shrimp paste, etc. Basically an improvised, garlic-centred take on nam prik pla. No idea if I still get the health benefits of raw garlic, but it tastes nice. Thanks to this stuff I probably eat 2-6 cloves a day.

Didn't know it was possible to be this retarded.

>I just smash the cloves using the flat of the knife and my fist (which also gets the skin off), then chop it fine.
I smash garlic with a rubber mallet. Then I smash it harder when I want it finer. Texture and flavor is superior to chopping. Try it! American, btw. We put garlic in almost everything. Half of north americans (US, Canada, Mexico) have giant garlic bins or braided garlic ropes in thier kitchens. Even pleb cooks use lots of garlic powder. I have no idea how much garlic Aussies or Brits use.
