What is it with Garlic?
I've delvelop a sensitivity to garlic and avoid eating it or cooking with it. Try to order a meal in this city and maybe anywhere that does not have an infusion of this spice. It is as if it is the only spice worth using in preparing food. Really, are there no other flavours worth sensing in meats or pastas or vegetables? How about thyme, cinnamon or cilantro; even good old ground pepper. All these have wonderful flavours. Oh wait! Garlic is a cheap spice and kills the rest of the bad flavours in a so,so prepared meal!
