My husband used to hate garlic. He said he never liked it even when he was back home in England and whenever he saw garlic in any dish, he’d rather waste time in picking out the garlic bits then eat them. But he’s a changed man now. Because I exposed him to the garlic culture by bombarding him with garlic in almost everything I cook.
“Either you eat it, or you shall have no dinner!”
Just kidding, I’m not some meanie who forces the husband to consume something he doesn’t like. It’s just that garlic is my must-use ingredient especially when it comes to stir-frying vegetables. It’s just not the same without garlic. Garlic is rich in antioxidants so we should really try to eat more of it 😉
