OK watching the Food Network and having a fit here.... Sand in the old mangina... This one woman is cooking and using "Garlic from a JAR" Friggin YUCK!!!! If it isnt fresh garlic... fuhgetaboutit. She used it on EVERY dish she made. Powdered garlic is ok to ACCENT flavor but this jar shit is for the birds. Has NO flavor AT ALL! Please... FOR THE CHILDREN... BAN GARLIC IN A JAR!!! |

When my grandmother would make meatloaf she would put a solid strip of that bottled crap on the top about an inch wide and a half in deep , that was the nastiest thing ever, she would always make two, one with the garlic and one without and the one with the garlic would sit for a week.

Big plus 1 Garlic is my favorite herb. I used to eat garlic cloves when I was a kid but it made me smell funky when I would sweat. That's the only reason I don't eat them now. Garlic is a gift from God. |
I've been to Gilroy!!! THAT WHOLE TOWN SMELLS OF GARLIC!! If any of you get the chance to go during the garlic festival... GO! they have Garlic wine, Garlic ice cream... And BELIEVE ME you know you are in Gilroy just by the smell... I am NOT kidding. |
| Took the family to this past Garlic Festival in Gilroy. We got there at opening, hungry and ready to eat. We stuffed ourselves went back to the hotel to kick back in the pool and then went back there for dinner. In hindsight there wasn't as much garlic themed food as I thought there would be. It was like paying to go to a carnival and having to buy food from the booths there. It was fun, but I don't see making it a yearly thing. |
Gilroy bills itself as the "Garlic Capital", Kern County however grows about twice as much garlic as Gilroy. We just also grow 80% or the Roses in the U.S. Unbelievable amounts of Almonds Shitloads of Grapes Huge amounts of Onions A very large amount of Tomatos Walnuts Pistachios Sugar Beets Watermelons Corn and a bunch of other stuff I can't think of right now. |
