There comes a time in our lives where we decide to log out of that online-streaming account, get off that sofa and make our way into the kitchen to cook up something. We explore the internet, sift through multiple YouTube videos and get started by following every instruction properly. However, once we’re done, the final product doesn’t really feel right.
Do you know why? Because every single soul on this planet has a cook inside them that tells them to go off the beaten path. It signals them to add that extra bit of salt or hold back on the flour. And for one such mortal, that shoulder-cook told her to add garlic.
Twitter user @nicsigni talked about a dish that she was cooking where the recipe told her to add two cloves of garlic. But she just went ahead and responded with a resounding “nah!”.
recipe: 2 cloves of garlic

Okay, so that’s one, two, three, four… who cares? It’s the perfect amount of garlic required for the dish. I mean, that’s the perfect amount of garlic for any dish.
Garlic lovers from all around the world united to approve of Nicole’s love for garlic and unanimously agreed that there’s no such thing as “too much garlic”.

This is correct behavior.

A clove is a handful right?

The equation that leads us to the amount you see, is more theoretical, therefore, we don't have the time to discuss how right we are. #garlicislife https://t.co/jPtHQlr32c

Every brown person knows it's always at least 3-4x what the recipe asks for. Then another dash for good measure https://t.co/tIAYDZIfu5

Jokes apart, garlic actually has a lot of health benefits. It contains sulfur compounds that effects the body positively. It’s extremely nutritious, while being low on calories. Garlic supplements can boost the immune system and help you fight common cold. And it can reduce blood pressure and improve your cholesterol level. So, next time someone says that your meals are too garlic-y, tell them “you’re welcome” because you’re doing them a huge favour.
