ice cream?

Taking this recursion towards infinity, an infinitely large block of garlic would be the universe's ideal form.

Indeed it is better with garlic.

Orange juice?

>>4524367

oh god I just spat out the lemonade I was drinking

>>4524375
Haven't tried it, but I will next time. I think roasted garlic puree with orange juice would be mighty fine.

>>4524367
delicious

>at grocery store the other day
>shoppers are chatting about garlic
>one mentions that eating raw garlic is delicious
>other shopper (white) says no way, it's poisonous and him and a friend got violently ill eating raw garlic

Is this just a white person thing, or do a lot of people get sick from raw garlic?

>>4524396
The guy was retarded, not based on color.

Oh yeah I'll let you know how my garlic peanut butter and jelly with banana sandwich turns out.

Roast the whole head until the cloves are fully caramelized then try it.

>>4524396
Is raw garlic actually good?

Curious now.

>>4524419
not on its own, its about like taking a bite of a raw onion or something

>>4524419
Yes.

Technically it is poisonous, just like onions it contains a neurotoxin that enters the bloodstream, gets into your brain, and has adverse effects like slowing your reaction time. They tell airplane pilots not to eat Italian food, atleast dishes that have garlic, before flying a plane

People forget plants don't usually want to be eaten. Garlic and onions developed their pungeancy as a way to keep predators from eating it, and it worked very well until humans started harvesting and cooking them. Thanks to the spice trade, garlic spread throughout the world and was considered a poor man's spice because of how cheap it was

Cooking them lowers the potency, but it's still there to some degree. You can FEEL it when you eat these things

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

What is bacon. It needs no garlic and yet makes garlic taste better.

Allacin is not found in garlic that's been let sit, which would include the several month old garlic you get in grocers that actually get shipped here from China.

They do not tell airline pilots that. It's an old wives tale perpetuated by junk science.

If there's a reason not to eat Italian food before a flight, it's because alcohol laden sauces. That shit doesn't burn off as fast as restaurants tell you, and a pilot with even the slightest bit of alcohol in his system can face felony charges faster than you can spit a red-neck name.

ok so not orange juice in its purest form but you can make a killer vinagrette with roasted garlic, oj, sesame oil & a some cilantro

>>4524364
I agree 100%.

>>4524436
I've never tried raw garlic, but I enjoy raw onion.

I pretty much start all of my meals with garlic, olive oil, and onions in a pan.

No matter what I cook it always seems to include garlic, olive oil, and onions

>>4524469
i think theyre both OK in small amounts, but i think most people wouldnt want either raw. they can be pretty strong.

>>4524364

Toothpaste.

Its not nauseating, but it isn't enjoyable either. Just kind of painful and overwelming.

Back when I smoked and had no sense of taste I would love popping pickled garlic all evening. God I must have smelled horrible.

>>4524474
I'm the same way, except replacing onions with mushrooms.

I used to think like OP. Now I realize savory dishes can really be held back by garlic as well. Its such a monotonous, ever-present note. Yes its delicious. But... its like not every song needs more cowbell.

Why is garlic so ugly?

>>4524682
>garlic
>ugly

Fuck you too bitch

>>4524396
Nothing to do with being white you nigger, im white and have eaten raw garlic my entire life.

>>4524474
As it should, man just the smell of those cooking is amazing.

>>4524670
Where can I get/make pickled garlic? Sound good.

>>4524742
I hate pickled garlic. I love fresh garlic. Pickling destroys all of the spiciness leaving only a dead tasting, rubbery, clove of sour abandoned dreams. That tastes faintly of garlic.

>>4524364

I'm undergoing garlic therapy. Apparently chances are I'll make a complete recovery!

>>4524441
Normally if someone told me that I was regularly ingesting a poisonous neurotoxin i'd freak the fuck out and immediately stop.
...but garlic is just too goddamn delicious and smells waaay too good for me to give a single fuck.
