Default The trouble with garlic?

The trouble with garlic?

The first time I roasted a whole head of garlic, I squeezed it out to make
garlic bread that I consumed. Delicious as it was, it landed me in the
hospital with pancreatitus hours later. I wasn't allowed to eat for a week.
Almost died back in 2005.

The store bought jar of minced garlic in oil made me break out with acne
almost instantly.

I'm OK with the garlic powder or the dry minced garlic.

I've used garlic cloves sparingly since my hospital stay.

You all are probably OK with 40 garlic clove chicken, etc., etc., right?

A garlic overdose oozes out of my skin, not just as bad breath!

And just how do you get rid of garlic breath anyway???

I've got news for you - it wasn't the garlic. It's the copious amounst of
alcohol you consume. You have what we call a classic case of denial. See
Step #1 of the 12 Step Program:

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become
unmanageable.

Keep going, it really works.

Never had it, I think I only got 20 in the bird. However the garlic
shrimp in one of my favourite restauarts seems to be more garlic than
shrimp.

I would not know. I consume enough garlic daily to not worry about
it. I've always though that worrying about garlic breath just showed
that you had boring friends and family who did not appreciate good
food. (Well except perhaps the above-mentioned shrimp and the beans
from that Egyptian restaurant in Ottawa.)

Not a problem. On the Iron Chef about a year ago, the one fellow
sauteed garlic and bananas. The judges thought it unique and pretty
darn good.

I agree with you wholeheartedly that only those (friends and family)
who have no capability to appreciate good food complains about garlic
breath.

I was at a "Home Depot" (hardware store chain), inspecting outdoor BBQ
grills one morning and a sales guy walked up to offer his expertise and the
first words out of his mouth were garlic breath maximus!!!

I instantly stepped away backwards and left.

Friends and family are one thing!!!!!!

He probably had one of the Polish sausages for lunch they always grill
just outside the door. I guess they are appealing to contractors and
the other workmen who run out at lunch to buy supplies and stop for a
hot dog.

I had not been following this thread but people might be interested in
th "Stinking Rose" restaurant:
http://www.thestinkingrose.com/about.htm

I have not eaten there but it's been around for a long time. "Stinking
Rose" is an old name for garlic but I did not see garlic ice cream on
the menu.

Note: Have never made this so can't vouch for it LOL

From: http://www.garlicworld.com/icecream.html


Barbara's Holiday Garlic Ice Cream

After a spicy, rich dinner, this dessert
is a refreshing climax. It should not be
served after a bland, garlic-free meal
as the slight hint of garlic will be
extremely offensive to some. The
strawberry or other fruit topping can be
eliminated, along with the sugar, and
the resulting mixture can be served with
roast beef in lieu of horseradish sauce.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 tsp Gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
2 cups milk
3/4-1 cup sugar
2 tblsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups whipping cream
Strawberry topping (or other
fruit)

Directions:

Soak the gelatin in cold water while you
heat to a boil the milk, sugar and salt.
Dissolve the gelatin in the hot milk.
Cool, then add the lemon juice and
garlic. Chill the mixture until slushy.
Whip the cream until thick but not stiff
and stir into the mixture. Freeze in a
mold, or in a foil-covered tray.

Garnish servings with the fresh fruit
topping. Serves 6-8.

Garlic Curry Ice-cream did it for me!

I admit the garlic chocolate chip cookies made as a gag on a
dishwasher (you know person who feeds the machine dishes) in a place I
worked once upon a time were not quite worth going back for more after
he had his first bite and nearly gagged...

I have had a garlic sweet roll which was quite spicy including chili
powder, cinnamon, garlic, mustard and were quite tasty.

The sweet-hot combination often found in many places in the world
often works very well with garlic at least on my taste buds.

Odd that... it was just near Kingston where I had the sweet-hot rolls
with garlic in them. London, ON which if memory serves (and likely
doesn't) is a few KM from Kingston. In the home of a couple I suspect
being of Asian heritage but never asked. The Pho like dinner on
several other occasions would also lead me in that direction.

I remember visiting Saugerties, NY.

We stayed there over a weekend at a tourist cabin camp divided up between
elders and kids. I can vaguely picture it. Very rustic! Don't recall
garlic.

Might well be worth a try. Now, where to find an ice cream
machine ....


Some friends and I once held a potato dinner for someone. He was doing
his undergrad thesis on the supply and demand of potatoes in Prince
Edward County and for some reason we found this hilarious.

IIRC getting potatoes into the dessert was a problem. I think we
finally cheated a little bit and had a sweet potato pie. It took
until the main course for him to suddenly realise that there was
something funny about the menu.

I can see that a GARLIC meal is now looking feasible.

I was momentarily taken back too but then I remembered that the SoCal
location had been mentioned here before. Look at the website.
There's two of them!

Texas some years ago from an Indian grocer was worth going back for
more

I finally gave up on fresh garlic and switched to granulated.
Fresh just does not agree with me any more. <sigh> Makes me really ill
while granulated garlic does just fine.

The exception is roasted fresh garlic. I'm okay with that.

The best solution to garlic breath and yes, the smell that comes form
your pores, is to make sure your friends eat as much of it as you do.
You will all be healthier and the folks that object - you don't want
to be talking to them anyway.

Andy,
Talk to an allergist, dude. You're allergic to garlic.

Guy I work with has the same problem. Going out to lunch with him is a PITA.
Mostly it's the salad place in the mall, or the other salad place in the
mall. Every place else has garlic in just about everything.

That probably wasn't from the garlic. Garlic is believed to be effective
in *lessening* inflammation, which is what pancreatitis is.

Could be the oil rather than the garlic.

Not much of the essential oils left in those, plus they are heated to
some extent.

Why not? The garlic is thoroughly cooked.

Eat garlic all the time. Eventually the body adjusts how it metabolises
the sulphur compounds that cause the 'smell'.

Rub peppermint oil on the soles of your feet. Not the oil you get in
grocery stores but the pure peppermint oil you get in health food
stores.

I heard peppermint oil was good for stomach upsets... but I've never
heard of it counter acting foot odor before this (although perfume
covers up a myriad of smells).
