Creamy cheese, gorgeous garlic but not one to ward off vampires

Advantages: Mild garlic taste but lovely creamy flavours and thick texture
Disadvantages: Price

...Whenever I hear 'Philadelphia' I always thick of the TV advertising of the 2 angels in heaven eating this soft cheese with crackers. I suppose that's the marking of good advertising. I have never actually tried the original Philadelphia but it is basically a creamy soft cheese manufactured by Kraft (a massive manufacturer of a whole array of food brands). I like flavoursome cheese and seeing as I love soft cheese with flavouring like garlic, chives, herbs etc...this looked really appealing - Kraft Philadelphian Light Garlic and Herbs.' By 'Light' they actually mean, less fat and calories than the original. It's not 'low fat' and the product even details it to be - 'a medium fat soft cheese with garlic and herbs.' There is still 47kcal, 3.5g of fat and 2.3g of saturated fat per 30g serving. I don't know how much a 30g serving rquates...

It h'asda be garlic and herb

Advantages: Makes a great change if you're dieting
Disadvantages: may have more than your suppose to

...I first found this whilst looking for something as a change to the usual dieting foods. I could smell the chicken as I walked around the store, the chickens are spit roasted there in front of you and the day I bought mine they had just come of the spit. Asda sell a few different kinds of chickens including a spicy and a plain version. back to the Garlic and herb, at first sight it is easy to tell the difference between this and the plain chicken as the skin is covered by little flecks of herbs. I requested my chicken and it was packed straight from the spit into a foil lined bag to help retain the heat. I bought the rest of my shopping and paid, the chicken itself been £2.99. I live about a 15 min drive from my nearest Asda, and when I arrived home, I put the shopping away and then decided to check out the chicken, this must...

A herb for Halloween!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...Garlic has been around since recorded history began. Allium sativium, to give it its Latin name is actually classes as a herb although it is part of the onion family along with leeks and shallots. A potted history ******************** Garlic originated in central Asia. It was worshipped by the ancient Egyptians and even used as a currency. Clay sculptures of garlic bulbs have been discovered in ancient Egyptian tombs dating back to 3,200 B.C. The ancient Greeks also worshipped garlic and used to leave it out as an offering to their Gods. Greek military leaders gave garlic to their troops prior to a battle believing it would give them strength and courage. Garlic was also used by Greek Olympians to improve their performance. In central Europe garlic has long been associated as a powerful protector against vampires and were...

Treat your spuds to a new jacket

Advantages: Easy to use, tastes great, a cheap solution to liven up your potatoes
Disadvantages: Too many 'rouge' ingredients

...The Schwartz garlic and herb mix The Schwartz garlic and herb mix is a powdered coating primarily potato wedges. It is available in a 38g packet and whilst this does not appear to be much it is adequate for up to 2.5lbs of wedges, which is more than enough for four people, unless you have very large appetites. Ingredients of the garlic and herb mix This garlic and herb mix contains loads of different flavours and ingredients including breadcrumbs, dried garlic (11%), fat powder, parsley, black pepper, celery seed, paprika, herbs and garlic oil amongst much more. One thing that concerns me is the amount of flavourings, different ?chlorides? and silicon dioxide that is present in the mix. I wouldn?t like to imagine what these other ingredients are or what they do to you, but given this meal is a rare treat I am...

Review of Schwartz Garlic & Herb Wedges

Garlic for free (well almost).

Advantages: Cheap and easy to grow
Disadvantages: Smelly breath

...The proper name for garlic is Allium sativum and it is part of the onion family. The word garlic comes from the old German word garlaeac, which means 'spear leek'. The gar means spear and refers to the pointy leaves and lic means leek, which is another member of the onion family. Garlic is a bulb which, when mature, has segments called cloves and these are held together with a white papery skin. Garlic has been grown for centuries both for its culinary attributes and for its medicinal properties. It is thought to help prevent heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels, to have anti biotic properties and anti oxidant properties, i.e. protecting the body from those harmful free radicals. Some even claim that eating it raw is good for warding off mosquitoes, but it may also deter all but your best friends too. Garlic is truly...

Hmm Roasted Garlic

Advantages: Very good for your health
Disadvantages: Bad breath

...Back again with probably one of the most used herbs in the cooking world - Garlic The amount of time I hear people say I hate Garlic and won't cook with it, or I don't like the smell of it. They are so ignorant they don't even know it's used in most everyday things ranging from peri-peri sauce to ready meals and in lots of tinned food like soups etc. How can you not love the smell of roasted garlic :) As you may be able to tell I love garlic and I must go through a clump a week, its great with a massive amount of different foods, just don't use to much of it. This is where people probably make the mistake; too much Garlic can taint the food and kill the flavour of the meat. Quite a bit of information about the Garlic coming up so hear goes.

Garlic - Bad Smell of Success

Advantages: Seems to alleviate a host of ailments.
Disadvantages: Causes odour, some may be intolerant to it.

...Much seems to have been written about garlic being good for the heart, cholesterol, circulation and a host of other conditions, but I thought I would add my "two-pence-worth" based on my experience of this pungent little herb. To begin with, I must say that I have never found any benefit in taking garlic supplements, whether or not they were of the odourless variety. But I definitely have found fresh garlic bulbs to make a difference to the state of my health. Before I go any further, I would like to advise readers with medical conditions to always visit their doctor to get a proper diagnosis and only self-medicate with the appropriate medical approval. Some people have also been found to be intolerant to garlic and experienced contact dermatitis on the skin and migraine headaches. I am no expert and what follows is...

Review of Garlic

Garlic, not boring but nice.

Advantages: Versatile.
Disadvantages: Most people hate the smell

...It doesn't matter if you love it or hate it. Garlic can do something good for you. There can't be many plants that are so versatile. Garlic belongs to the same family group as onions, chives, tulips and lilies and it's been with us a long time. Evidence of its existence has been found in caves that were lived in 10,000 years ago and the first written reference, on a clay tablet, is dated from 3,000 BC. It seems that ancient civilisations had a good understanding of the many varied uses of the herb. It was widely used in remedies and has even been used as currency. Slaves building the pyramids were given garlic in their rations as it was believed it would keep up their strength. Roman and Greek physicians recommended garlic for use against infections, cancer, leprosy, heart problems and dozens of other ailments and illnesses...

How to Grow Garlic

Advantages: Really very easy to grow, and a fun project for kids.
Disadvantages: Not many, some people don't like the odor.

..."If everybody ate garlic, Then nobody would find it objectionable." French Peasant–Unknown Did you know garlic is classified as an herb? My dictionary defines an herb as "A plant or plant part valued for its medicinal, savory, or aromatic properties." So, garlic, and many other plants are really herbs! Whatever you call it, garlic is an incredibly popular flavoring for all sorts of dishes. Growing garlic is really very easy. If you love "the stinking rose," you'll love growing your own fresh garlic! Where to Plant Your Garlic Garlic loves a rich, very well-drained soil. It's a perennial (which means the plant doesn't die over the winter, and will return in the spring), but in most climates, it is treated like an annual. (Which means it's grown anew every year.) Garlic can be grown from seed, but most people plant...
