I write about garlic. Have you ever realized that garlic is the most unjusticed food in our modern time? At least in brazil, if you wanna mean someone smells bad, you say someone has garliced mouth.

Ive just drunk some garlic tea, and this is one of the most tasted teas i have ever tried. It is sweet, wet, and Joao told me it fights against the cold i have.

Reading Anthony Bourdain. He says garlic is one of the most important things in goodrestaurants kitchens. And so in mine.

But remember, i dont talk about this smashed things my mother likes to buy in the market. I talk about a fresh one, which one i prefer to be in the frigthen with skin and not cutted at all. After some minutes,it becomes pure, a scenty one, nice texture, nice smell, perfect taste.

This is something that may increase our food very very easy, to try new things with garlic, to combinate it with butter and with red, purple, onion.

Next time i hear, You have garliced mouth, maybe id be happy.

  1. I must first of all congratulate you for writing about food and more specially about doing food to really eat, without trying to do by traditions or shit. I mean, we've got certainly a repertoire of savoir-faires, but it's all about using them as we use words.

    Maybe i'll try to compare it with teens nowadays. Being teen is knowing lots (because of the Internet we are like black holes of knowledg) without any restraints of academic thought and more importantly not with a clue of prejudice because we dont know it. We know it and we dont know how heavy it should be.

    Teen food is not about mastering or technique, certainly. It's like seeing food as sketches and not masterworks. We shouldnt ever forget that its all about procedure.

    Once again, congrats on your blog. I'm sorry i dont have much to comment on garlic, but i do share your passion.

  2. Baked garlic makes my parties go HURRA!, thats what i have to say. Just put the whole head in your oven, or maybe with aluminium-paper all over it and throw the baby on the embers of a nice barbecue, and you'll have a most squishy delicacy. Real deal, it is fantabulous.

    About the comment above, it makes me see teenfood as nouvelle-vague, but tastier.
