    Always more with garlic. Calls for “2-3 cloves” means at least half bulb. On spice, I’ll hold off if I’m cooking for others that can’t deal and just leave that on the side when serving.

      I’ve put double the garlic a recipe called for before and it was still not enough. Who the hell are these people writing recipes for? Vampires? Or do recipe writers live in some place that has really strong garlic??

        Yeah I think the right amount is either zero or a lot. There’s nothing I want a little bit of garlic in.

        I honestly think that a lot of recipes are written for people who just don’t like things that have a lot of flavor

      It is technically possible to use too much garlic, but at that point you’re concerned about the amount of money being used to season a single item.
