going through a crisis every time i follow an online recipe because either i have too delicate of a palette or yall's garlic has no taste because if i use 6 cloves of the garlic i buy here, there will be NO other flavor in this dish (or in my body, for a week)
See recipes as a guide and not a law. It is your own dish to be proud of.
i usually do just that, but when i try a completely new dish i like to cook it for the first time following the recipe exactly to see what it's *supposed to* taste like (in the author's opinion), and then i readjust as I want to 🙏 (umm the garlic part is an exception 🤣)
I'm guessing this is a hardneck vs softneck garlic thing? groceries where I live usually sell softneck which is milder
For us it's the opposite. Maybe the german garlic isn't as flavourfull, but most tecepies I find ask for one clove and we usually need to add atleast 4 to get any taste in ^^'
I have the opposite problem, usually recipes say 1-2 and I add at least double 🤣 but when peeling them I can usually judge how big/strong they will be flavor wise, because it depends so much
Dude I made a broccoli cheddar soup and it called for like 3 or 4 and I was like ???? I love garlic but man these recipes are something else
4 cloves of garlic, and there'd be not a shadow of either broccoli or cheddar left 😭😭😭
I was naive and followed the recipe 😔 it only taste like garlic with a hint of cheddar and broccoli 😭 next time I know better
literally omg
Honestly, I think it's because a *lot* of people buy the big pre-minced garlic in jars, which are a lot less flavorful.
Our garlic probably doesn't have flavor 😂 honestly most people I know use the jarred stuff, which is significantly underwhelming
jarred garlic?? 🫢 i don't think i've ever even see that is it pre-minced? or do you mean dried?
Nope! It comes in a jar in oil. I call it jarlic. Where I'm from this is the most common brand. But yeah, they pre-mince and/or chop the garlic and preserve it in oil. The oil takes away the pungent-ness but the oil is now infused 😂
We all call it jarlic, lol
I feel you so much on this
Naw, we just have a surplus of vampires around here
6 cloves of garlic is what i'd consider adding to a batch of 50 minced meat patties, not a 2-people serving of chicken wings 😭😭😭 i seriously think that our garlic is just much more fragrant
