Ayatollah Hermione 12765 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Don't listen to them, CT. Here's what they really do: First, they head to Transylvania and liason with the local vampire hunters. For a small (but not insubstantial) fee, these vampire hunters will kill a local vampire by stabbing him through the chest with a stake. Beforehand, the restaurant will coat the tip of the stake with some garlic oil so when it plunges into the vampire's chest, the garlic oil becomes entwined with the vampire's blood. Then, the hunter brings the vampire corpse back to the restaurant who then carve it up, halal style, draining the blood into a bucket which they then thin out with something scientific and hey presto, you have your true garlic taste.

Gemmill 34420 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Yeah Christ. Somebody says you take garlic, you whiz it in a food processor, and you mix it with oil. Couldn't be easier. And the dickhead still wants an alternative that puts him to less trouble and won't get the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ok minions, tonight I have made the best ever garlic bread. As I've told you before, I used the "how to make the perfect......." Course from the guardian. This is without doubt the best garlic bread you will ever taste, and trust me I've tried many over the years. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2012/may/03/how-to-cook-perfect-garlic-bread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohhh_yeah 2765 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Does anyone know how Italian restaurants get that special garlic smell and taste. It's totally different to what you get at home so is there a special trick of the trade? They had a company from Ireland manufacture a garlic air freshener. They roast the whole garlic after peeling the outer layer and cut the top off of it with olive oil. Then when they have cooled slightly, they squeeze all of the cloves out. 3/4 of the cloves are then blended in with softened butter. The remainder of the cloves are put aside until the bread is sliced. When they have an order they smash and rub a clove onto the bread before spreading a spatula worth of butter on the bread. Oh, and then they put it under a salamander broiler. You could cook your bread with your oven broiler on high or wrap it in foil and microwave it on high for three and a half minutes.

Or as CT will read it: Buy some garlic bread from the shop, place in microwave and give several blasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Having a bit of a Chinese themed night tonight. Currently have ribs on the go. This will be followed by salt and pepper chicken using this recipe. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2013/may/09/how-make-perfect-salt-pepper-squid Except with chicken not squid. And also some egg fried rice which appears to be going wrong. (Chinese takeaway on speed dial). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
