I'm really trying not to make a joke about white people considering spices and aromatics a national security threat.

Oddly enough, garlic was Mussolini’s favorite food, he would eat like 2-3 whole cloves of garlic with olive oil. What a fucking freak

Garlic confit is the shit.

Add a whole clove to a bowl and cover with olive oil, bake at 250 for a while and the garlic turns into basically a butter spread.

Roasted garlic can be pretty nice though. I wouldn't just eat it on it's own though, it's good as part of a meal.

Garlic don't count. Idk about anglos but in continental Europe garlic is present in nearly every national cuisine, to a various degree.
