National Garlic Day

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Sat Apr 19, '08, 5:08 pm

April 19th is National Garlic Day!

Anyone here love to eat garlic in your foods, etc.?

I love garlic but rarely eat it. I also love the smell of it.

A family member also planted some garlic in a small garden several years ago and it still comes up every year.

And, does anyone remember those old scary, horror movies where they wore garlic to stop vampires, etc., from bothering them. I wonder if that really worked. :wink:

I can't stand the smell, so no, I don't eat it.

As for vampires... well, you'd need some vampires around first! If you have those, garlic is the least of your worries. ;)

I could only ever eat it when it wasn't apparent, like garlic bread is only good if its more bread and butter than garlic.
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

Can't say I've heard of that one before. What sort of things do they have there?

At the garlic festival all the food has garlic in it. Some of the more bizarre foods were garlic soft serve ice cream and chocolate. There are also normal things like beef and chicken.

garlic ice cream - yuck - don't think i would like that. garlic has such a strong smell that it sometimes makes me ill.
