Advice for the ages.
@pamela_weaver yeah triple even
@lukeharby @pamela_weaver Hey, the recipe never says how large the cloves of garlic are. I buy large garlic.

@pamela_weaver "The ONLY recipe in which a single clove of garlic is appropriate is 'How To Cook One Clove of Garlic'. Even then, use at least two."

I can't remember who said this but credit to them.

@pamela_weaver Super, @Owi fait dans le vandalisme public désormais pour faire passer ses idées !
@pamela_weaver I'd put it all in. This will test who your real friends are.
@johnnyd_cm @pamela_weaver If your friends eat it too, at least they have mutual self-defense.
@pamela_weaver i can't. i always use all the garlic i have.

@b_age @pamela_weaver

I can't do that because I have a big jar of it on hand plus fresh and powder. It might kill somebody.

@aka_quant_noir @b_age @pamela_weaver I am okay dying from a garlic OD. For the history books!
@phwampfler Irritierende Aussage, weil sie suggeriert, es könnte ausreichend Knoblauch hinzufügt werden. @pamela_weaver
@dejanfreiburg @pamela_weaver Habe das mehr als Verlegenheitslösung interpretiert. Das, was man machen kann, wenn man das eigentliche Problem nicht lösen kann.
@pamela_weaver Food recipes always get the unit of meaurement for garlic wrong. It is always HEADS, not some puny cloves.
Pasta With 20 Cloves of Garlic

Toasted nutritional yeast, full of umami, pushes the pasta into a deeply savory zone and seamlessly makes up for the lack of dairy in this vegan superstar.

Bon Appétit
@pamela_weaver I also tend to triple or quadruple the salt. Always helps.
@pamela_weaver unless the recipe already begins with “2½ kg garlic”…
@pamela_weaver
*150 years later*
*mono-cropping of garlic has laid waste to vast swathes of rainforest*
*the garlic lobbists now weild massive political power*
*People now regularly ingest a toxic level of garlic*
*fox news regularly airs shows complaining about how kids today are weak and treasonous because they're campaigning to reduce the amount of garlic used globally*
@pamela_weaver Every meal kit service should all have "the rest of the garlic" alongside the stuff from your own kitchen like oil and salt.
Chicken with 40 Cloves Garlic

Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic is crispy and tender chicken cooked alongside garlic cloves in a delicious creamy sauce.  A French dish that everyone LOVES!

Tastes Better From Scratch
@pamela_weaver Potentially controversial advice from my mother.. put the garlic in just before the the dish is cooked for much stronger garlic taste.
@pamela_weaver my wife and I were completely confused when my sister complained the Mexican restaurant we recommended had too much cilantro in the salsa and too much tequila in the margaritas. Garlic is in the same category - never too much

@pamela_weaver I was horrified by a recipe for avocado toast that said to cut a single clove in half, rub it against the bread, then discard it(?).

Obviously recipes are written in code so outsiders won't learn the secrets of cooking, and this really means "crush several cloves of garlic and mix into the avocado".

@pamela_weaver I have a local garlic farm. Before that I followed the rule of, when they say clove, they mean bulb. But now with The Good Shit™️ doubling is enough.
@pamela_weaver true, true...
It's literally impossible to choose "too much #garlic"...

@pamela_weaver are we expecting another vampire incursion?
@pamela_weaver The minimum I use for any recipe is a bulb. It blows my mind when a recipe will ask for like just one or two cloves
@pamela_weaver ….and always, always, add more olive oil…
@pamela_weaver but why is the note taped to the lamp post telling me to use less garlic in my dishes? 😉
@pamela_weaver When the recipe calls for two cloves of garlic
@pamela_weaver replace 'clove' with 'bulb', and we're talking
@pamela_weaver @DelilahTech “That’s weird, how’s you decide you need 65536 tablespoons of garlic in this?”
