varies by region, perhaps? Pati Jinich uses a bit on her show. The food I get here uses it but it might be Hispanics adapting to Anglo tastes? -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 20:12 5

  - That has to be old or an eastern thing, you should have seen the lines for garlic fries at Mariners games. -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 20:20 2
    - It's definitely an English thing. But it's also a "this mayonnaise make my Wonder bread spicy" thing. -- nm - Roger More Mar 31, 20:26 1
      - that made me giggle, thanks! -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 20:27
- Maritimers are the only people on Earth to get a hold of Lebanese food and say, "Hey, don't be so stingy with the garlic now." -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 20:16
