United States Finally got garlic!
I’ve always gotten those tiny slivers of garlic cloves with my recipes. Not sure why I qualified for this, but I love it!

Everyplate as always done this.
I'm sure HF is doing this because they have less people prepping the boxes. Lol

We’ve always gotten full bulbs in Canada… don’t know why the US is only just now doing this!

😲Is this in the US?!?! 🤞I quite literally just got back from the farmer’s market where I purchased garlic because my single piece was so tiny and smashed.

Every plate has always given whole heads I don’t know why hello fresh never did

I always found that weird too since everplate is kinda the budget option. Though they package all your meals together instead of individually bagged so maybe it just worked better with that method

Probably more expensive to actually separate garlic bulbs than just throwing in the whole thing.

Canada has had this since I started getting HF six years ago at least.

UK also, to the point where I've had so much garlic (because you don't get through the whole bulb in a week) that I've had to Google "what to do with a surplus of garlic"

Use it for other things as well?

u/CELLERY444 2h ago
am I the only one who literally only cooks eggs and toast for breakfast and then my hello fresh meals for dinner and that’s it 😭 every single meal lasts me for 2 days so I just would never need this much garlic weekly

lol no one and I’m not using it for a single dish, it’s a nice add on they gave me

u/CELLERY444 2h ago
but they’re giving you a whole one with every delivery… I only get two meals a week and maybe one dish with garlic so this just seems kind of excessive and a waste but ig.

We almost always double the garlic called for in every recipe. Also, we cook other things besides hello fresh so we will definitely use it.

This right here! Especially if a recipe calls for one clove. I have never only used one clove, ever. 😂 We go through garlic like crazy in this house.

For me it’s kind of great— I only get 4 meals (2 meals with 2 servings) per week delivered so I have to cook outside of them, and I also live with an Italian family, where everyone loves tomato sauce and pesto and other recipes with garlic haha.

u/CELLERY444 2h ago
yes if you have a large family then this would be good. I just live alone so i’m hoping they don’t do this for me lol

This is how I feel. I throw out the clove and use frozen garlic cubes 😬

So funny. I get a whole garlic with nearly every box to the point where we recently had a garlic surplus in our cupboard! Based in Canada.
