DON'T KNOW WHO NEEDS TO HEAR THIS, but the amount of garlic in a recipe is only a suggestion. of the barest minimum, at that.

@blogdiva truer words never spoken

there is never enough garlic

@MatWright @blogdiva

I once made something with too much garlic. (Once.)

@stevegis_ssg @MatWright @blogdiva saaaame  my former partner and I both love garlic, but we realised that we had maaaybe gone just a little overboard with it (by a head) in a particular crock-pot  turns out over-garlicing something eventually stops making it have more garlic flavour/aroma and starts tasting super salty 

(I managed to recreate those conditions once more on my own a few years later  )

(In case you're wondering, "How is that even possible?" It was roasted garlic ravioli. The filling was mashed roasted garlic. 15 heads for 5 dozen ravioli. They were actually delicious, but after a couple of bites your mouth started to HURT in this weird way.)

@stevegis_ssg @MatWright ok... i need to try this some day. sounds amazeballs tbh
@stevegis_ssg @MatWright @blogdiva @RnDanger
"Hurts in a weird way" means you nearly have enough garlic.

And with wasabi/horseradish I like to say, if your SCALP tingles, you know it's working.

@stevegis_ssg @MatWright @blogdiva Just for the record, word on the street is that @stevegis_ssg later acknowledged they might have been wrong about that assessment. 😁#garlicforthewin

@stevegis_ssg @MatWright @blogdiva when I was just learning to cook, I didn't know any better and for a recipe that asked for three cloves of garlic, I used three BULBS of garlic

That's how I learned you CAN have too much garlic 😵

@stevegis_ssg
Yes same hear: That one time when I had made Gazpacho for a friend. The moment we had the first spoon we both started laughing. That's because I'm always worried I put too little....
