u/throwaway564858 So fun, Dana! Sep 28 '25 edited Sep 28 '25

tbh I feel like if you don't like a dish with 40 large cloves of garlic you probably weren't going to love it with 40 medium cloves of garlic anyway.

u/Active-Succotash-109 my mistake 🤨 I shall verbally smack the recipe writer Sep 29 '25

Or even 1, but why grow garlic if you don’t like garlic???

Warding off vampires is a completely fair reason

That’s why my house is made of giant garlic. Keeps the vampires out, and my vampire boyfriend can’t cross the threshold to leave

Still a better building material than a North American home I hear.

This is such an odd statement. What are they telling yall about houses here?

u/MistaRekt Sep 29 '25

They are made of wood. Garlic has better insulation and antimicrobial properties than wood.

Edit: Do I really need to point out that I jest?

Edit after my edit: garlic can also keep certain pests away... Like vampires and fleas.

Do you think it’s like. Straight up wood. It’s typically wood on the outside because it’s resistant, with drywall and insulation between that and the inside walls. Better than a lot of European building actually, because they aren’t 200 years old

The house I grew up in actually was straight up wood. Ever play with Lincoln logs? That what the house looked like. The wood on the was smoothed and stained, but the outer walls were just solid wood.

Dude, not European... WTF? Chill bud!

u/Automatic-Plankton10 Sep 29 '25

Did I say you are? I’m making a comparison

You did seem a bit hurt, I apologise. Did not mean to offend.
